Chat list keeps jumping back up to top

[mihok]

• node version: v8.7.0
• npm (or yarn) version: yarn v1.2.1

What happened:

When you have a large list of chats (not sure exactly how large, currently since the Show HN post I have 3000 chats on my operator for context.) The operator application sometimes jumps back up to the top after scrolling to the bottom of the list.

Problem description:

I believe that there may be an issue where re-rendering the list causes the list to scroll back to the top. Although this is not confirmed to be the actual problem.

Suggested solution:

Prevent large lists of chats from magically scrolling back to the top

Hi @mihok can you suggest a way to reproduce the bug on local , I tried with generating a list with range like filteredChats = [...filteredChats, ...Array(3000)].map((p, i) => , the list takes time in rendering but could not get the scroll problem (message is received from single client ).

Hey @satyamyadav, thanks for looking into this issue!!

Hmmm, It was only when there was many chats open, and might be hard to reproduce as you mentioned. We can probably ignore this issue for now as I imagine that there are bigger problems when we are getting 3000+ chats happening in a short period of time
