Tracked in Phabricator
Task T161883

The animation time is quite slow/laggy. Maybe make an option to disable it so the arrows can move instantly?

Hi @SpikeballUnion,

could you tell us a bit more about what you mean with animation time?

Is it about the time needed until its completely loaded when initially expanded? The time it takes to load the diff when you drag the pointers to some revision? Or the delay when you quickly want to move to the "next page" of revisions by clicking the arrows on the left/right side?

Thanks for your feedback so far,

best,

Christoph

Hi and thanks for your response.

I refer to the time that the arrows take to move to their position. It can be quite obstructing when making a mistaken click and needing to quickly click the correct revision one intended. I understand that the page load times will remain at their speed whatever the extension is, however I think the time it takes for the arrows to move across the revision slider compounds the swift use of the extension. That's just my opinion/feedback though.

Hi @SpikeballUnion,

I looked at the things you mention and I think I got the idea now. When you click on two bars, that are right next to each other very quickly the pointer moves relatively slow to that bar. - I guess thats related to the way the animations are done there. I think in theory that could be adjusted slightly, but I am not sure if or when we will find the time to address the issue. I will file a ticket later and poke you again.

Thanks again,

Christoph
