Steps to reproduce

  1. Enter a room
  2. Notice there is an upward arrow to scroll up to unread messages
  3. Scroll up, but there is nothing to see

Outcome

What did you expect?

I know there are more messages in this room, and I expected to see them.

What happened instead?

I see only a couple of messages, and empty space above them.

I think I may have just had this too - I couldn't scroll up past a certain point in a room, with no indication that it was trying to paginate backwards for more messages. Eventually it loaded more scrollback, not sure what caused it to do so.

I wonder if perhaps we should enable ScrollPanel's debug logging for develop temporarily, so that when people do hit these cases, we'll have some (hopefully relevant) logs...?

if the history comes back in a bit, it might just be the decryption loop being slow. We decrypt enough messages to get the room list preview working, but lazily load the rest of the room over time.

Larger accounts see this behaviour more prominently.

The history did come back in a bit. The behaviour was confusing and scary if I cared about that history, so I think if it needs to be slow we should have a spinner or equivalent.

I don't think it needs to be slow, but we should indeed have a loading spinner. Closing in favour of #16983 though, which has a bit more context.

oh, wrong issue, nevermind.

Reproduced this a couple more times but in my case the whole timeline went blank as I was scrolling down to catch up on messages and didn't recover.

Rageshake logs:

Relevant logs for this kind of bug:

  • Discarding an event, we don't have a call/peerConn m.room.message
  • Discarding an event, we don't have a call/peerConn m.room.encrypted
  • Discarding an event, we don't have a call/peerConn org.matrix.msc3381.poll.response

I wonder if perhaps we should enable ScrollPanel's debug logging for develop temporarily, so that when people do hit these cases, we'll have some (hopefully relevant) logs...?

Created #21532 to track adding a way to turn on this conditional debug logging while using the app instead of hard-coded into the build. And also useful for cases where we need more info from people and can just prompt to add more logging for those relevant components.

I don't know if it its related @t3chguy send me:
I have the opposite problem:
enter the room and you see nothing, Notice there is an upward arrow to scroll up to unread messages, klick on it and than see posts.
After scrolling up, i can't scroll down, but there is a button to jump to the newest message and then i get the black screen back

In my case there is nothing missing, just additional black "spacer".
I asked others.

oh and now i can not scroll up anymore, okay, now i have a missing timeline, because there isn't a "jump to the last unread message" button anymore.

There is a fluffychat user who thinks that he has the same Problem.
perhaps it's not a client problem!

This is happening in e2e tests right now, it turns out the DOM is still there, just pushed out of view, probably BACAT going awry.
