I'm unable to reproduce this currently, on staging Chrome. However, I think we should keep this open until we can figure out the exact reproducable steps -- but I don't think this should be marked as a regression.

CC @srikarparsi @eVoloshchak -- it seems related to this PR, any idea how to resolve this?

Unable to reproduce this building from the latest sources

On the first video from the description looks like the issue is with the list not being loaded completely, you can see the progress bar resizing in the middle of the animation. Not sure about the second video though

@johncschuster Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[johncschuster]

Bumping to keep Melvin happy.

@srikarparsi, do you have any ideas on this one?

[srikarparsi]

I'm also unable to reproduce the issue in staging. I also don't see how the code change would cause an issue like this. @Julesssss Maybe we could close the issue and anyone can reopen it if they're able to reproduce it?

@kbecciv can you check if this is still reproducible?

[kbecciv]

Issue is not reproductible in Web with build 1.2.23.9

[srikarparsi]

looks good, thanks @kbecciv. @johncschuster I think we can close this out for now and anyone can reopen if they are able to reproduce.
