GTE sometimes causes chat boxes to lock in place
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hello, ever since I installed Global Twitch Emotes, I noticed that my chat very often (probably 90% of the time) do not scroll down and keep up with my chats in the Twitch App through Chrome.
The only way to find out if you got a new message is to scroll down manually at random and find out that there are missed messages, which is extremely frustrating.
Is this something you can look into and/or fix?
Other than this issue, I love your extension!
In chat boxes, replacing text with an emote causes the parent chat message node to grow. This shift propagates up to the chat container, causing the entire chatbox node's scrollValue to change slightly. The JavaScript running on the page interprets this as the user scrolling up, which in response, it locks the chat in place.
I see... Do you know if there is a way to work around this?
This is a complex issue. Any solution to this would have to be generic (i.e. not fitted to a certain chatroom's configuration), otherwise I'd end up having to play cat and mouse whenever a website is changed.
I'll look into this when I can.
Yeah I feared that would be the case... I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it works out some day!
I did a bit of experimenting and came up with a possible solution, but it needs work. Would you like to test it @JiMiKi?
If so, send me an email at mohamed.y.elalawi@gmail.com
Resolving until this proves itself to be an issue again.
