App crashes if scroll through large chat #977
Description
Activity
Some additional info. If you slowly scrolled through a chat and all media (pics) are loaded, the app doesn’t crash anymore.
Guess it has something to do with pics loading process.Thanks for the report! I'm pretty sure that crash was introduced a long time ago and just hasn't been properly fixed yet. Narrowing it down to the picture loading process is helpful
Chat view corruption after fast scrolling. Some message bubbles are heavily scrambled and other artifacts are observable.This issue has been very difficult to solve and was introduced around the time I merged a PR that auto-loads your history as your scroll up. I think we may end up completely redoing the messaging UI and rewriting it from scratch.
Hi,
I just want to add, that its a problem with the newest version too. Also scrolling slowly does not help, its always crashing.
Are there media messages in the chat history? As a workaround you could try swipe-to-delete to clear the chat history.
Likely related to #998
Yeap, it contains some media messages. As I said before, I think media preview is involved in the crash.
Aaaand yes, I can relate that wiping a history solves the issue but creates a new one: there is no way to keep a large chat history with media messages. Chris, I hope you will figure it out because it’s quite a big problem for user experience.
It will be solved eventually, having to delete message history to fix a crash bug is pretty awful.
Seeing this too on iOS11.3 and 4.3.0, OMEMO group, plenty of media

The latest beta crashes if you scroll fast enough through big chat. I had sent few crash logs. This crash is pretty reproducible.
