Description of Issue
I am having a weird lag issue with scrolling and navigating Roon. Usually Roon feels snappy and responsive, but I find that sometimes it gets caught in some weird kind of loop when I do some combination of clicking on albums, pressing the back button, and scrolling. When this issue occurs, Roon seems to be autonomously performing some combination of the actions I told it to do, but they are delayed by several seconds and also seem to be duplicated/executed more times than I entered them. I’ve only started noticing this happening in the last month or so.
It would be difficult to capture a screen recording of this when it happens since it clears up after 5-10 seconds and I’m not sure I could launch a screen recording software in that time with Roon being effectively unresponsive. Are there any logs I could capture to demonstrate this behavior? I can’t seem to duplicate it intentionally, but every once in a while (maybe once every hour or so) I catch these weird graphical navigation glitches.
I think one other aspect to this (that seems more repeatable) is just scrolling in general. Roon seems to ‘stutter’ very slightly each and every time I scroll on my albums page.
It looks like there are major drops in the “frame rate” of Roon whenever I input a mouse wheel scroll of exactly one ‘click’. It’s like Roon does like 80% of the scroll animation, then just teleports the album to their final position which doesn’t align with the end of the scroll animation.
What else is going on on the PC , it sounds like the “keyboard buffer” or “mouse buffer” storing then acting.
If your PC is unresponsive for some reason and you keep typing / mouse scrolling etc with no effect those keystrokes are stored in the keyboard buffer (not sure how many) . When your PC “comes back” those buffered “commands” are acted upon.
The same for mouse clicks.
Does that explain the observation ? I see it occasionally on my desktop which is quite a “busy” machine
I think it’s possible, but it doesn’t seem to be correlated with the number of programs I am running or have idle.
In fact, I uninstalled several idle/background programs from my PC recently - so I would have expected a decrease in this behavior if that was the case.
I also don’t think that explains the second, more consistent, and possibly related issue. The second issue doesn’t seem to do with buffered commands at all, it seems to just be a newly surfaced, uncharacteristic lack of polish in the scrolling behavior.
The second issue feels like my mouse wheel is starting to crap out on me/lose sensitivity due to wear, but it’s only in Roon that these stutters occur. Here on the Roon community for example, scrolling is very consistent.
Here is another video, that I think shows the stuttering better. Notice on the third scroll upwards there is a very obvious stutter. That’s not a glitch in the recording, that’s Roon.
