Too little history fetched and can’t fetch more because can’t scroll
This a recent incarnation of previous issues like #269 (closed) #434 (closed) #543 (closed) and co. Related to #330 too.
- When you open a room, sometimes it will not show enough content to fill in the height of the window. Symptom number one: not enough history fetched at first.
- Since the view is not filled, scrollbars don’t appear and you cannot scroll up to fetch more. Symptom number two: can’t fetch more when scrollbars not shown.
This can happen even with the rather tiny default size, the window doesn’t have to be that tall. There aren’t necessarily a ton of events in the displayed timespan either. For example, I have a direct chat with 3 messages (them, then me, then them again) and their receipt at the end. Nothing else, and the previous event was a message from me again.
As a workaround, one can make the window very very tiny to force scrollbars to appear, and then scrolling/fetching is possible.
