Scroll to Bottom only scrolls a few posts

[delta-3]

Clicking the Scroll to Bottom icon sometimes only scrolls a few posts before stopping.

Unfortunately, the way Tumblr rewrote the scrolling code a few months ago is Pretty Weird, so it's hard to make it super reliable, particularly on slower computers—we could increase a timer.

What page is this on? Does it happen only on one kind of page?

[delta-3]

I have a reasonably fast internet connection (actual about 128 Mbps). It is happening on more than one blog, but this is one: deltacubed.tumblr.com. I have noticed that it will only sometimes do this, but at other times, after a few short scrolls, it will start to behave normally. BTW, this only applies to the dashboard, it doesn't seem to happen on the posts, queue, or drafts.

Yeah, it would be more about the processing speed of your computer. Dashboard, gotcha, thanks.

I can't reproduce this on either the Queue or Drafts (which are the places I use it most often), nor on any of the tags in my own blog that I tried, nor on that example (deltacubed). There were a couple of pauses before it loaded the next batch that seemed slightly longer, but it never stopped, and by "slightly longer" I mean "a few more fractions of a second".

eta: okay, I thought "slower computers" probably was referring to processing speed, but I was just following delta-3... as far as that I'm on an Intel i5-10400. (which is nothing big by today's standards, but sure seemed fast in 2021 because it was such a jump over my previous computer from 2012.)
