Vertical scroller doesn't work after switching accounts
Zhephree
via web
After the default account loads, select "Switch Account" from the app menu and then select another account. Vertical scrolling doesn't work. Attempting to scroll just "taps" an individual tweet and opens it.
I've noticed it happening mostly when I have a very slow connection (1 bar of signal). Perhaps vertical scrolling isn't set up until all streams have loaded?

Thank for the post.
I just tried it with Edge connection and I got kind of the same behavior. I tried it on WIFI again and I could get to the bottom of this, when you switch an account there's a bit of caching happening for the previous card's timeline data(which is very slow on WebKit DB) and at the same time since we don't have image caching all the new images get loaded(Image loading is real daunting on Lists) so it add ups to the load and takes a little longer to update the list which intern updates the Scroller.
I'll take look at how we can optimize that. Thanks for the heads up man, it's highly appreciated.

This also happens to me when switching accounts. I normally tap the TopTrending n when i go back to timeline view the scrolling works. Any update regarding this issue?

Just a heads-up that this is still present in the latest release. Not sure if it was supposed to have been remedied. 5 bars of signal on EvDO.

Hey Zhephree, the connection doesn't play any role in that, in my tests it only happens on 1.4.5 devices... is it the case with your use? Thanks for the report again.

I'm seeing the same behavior.
- Verizon Palm Pre Plus - WebOS v 1.4.5.1 - UberKernel v 1.4.5-158 - Patched to the gills :)
One workaround that sometimes works is to do some other scrolling action. For example, if I side-scroll to mentions, then scroll back, the vertical scroll will work. Or a double-finger top or bottom scroll will sometimes do it. I suspect it may be a fluke of timing (ie. by the time I realize scrolling isn't working, the background operation that's holding things up has finished, so now any scrolling will work), but I wanted to add my data point in case it helps.

Yeah, having the same results, swiping to Mentions and swiping back to the
Timeline fixes things.
