Scrolling is extremely janky

[shahsarick]

On pixel 8 pro, other apps are fine but hacki comment scrolling is an awful laggy and jittery mess.

Hi, please provide more details, which app version were you on? In which thread were you experiencing the janky scrolling? Was the janky scrolling there for all threads or certain threads with more than 1000 comments?

It's across multiple versions, I'm currently on the latest 2.4.1 and it is for threads with even only 30 comments.

This is one example of a thread that is giving me super janky scrolling:

@shahsarick how much storage space is left on your phone?

[shahsarick]

@Livinglist 130gb is left.

Here is a vid with a lot of jank showing. Compare it to sync by lemmy which is butter smooth. Appreciate it!

Not sure if it's the same issue here, perhaps posting the phone model and Android version helps @shahsarick, switching my phone from 120hz to 90hz or 60hz fixed the issue that also happens to all Flutter apps. Disabling variable refresh rate didn't have any effect.

Using Poco X3 with PixelOS 14.

This also seems to be an Android issue with older high refresh rate phones like Samsung and Xiaomi, Chrome has issues with the default renderer on these, switching to <120hz also fixed the issue:

Testing with impeller enabled resulted in more stutter.

Edit: Looks like Pixel 8 Pro doesn't have 90hz option.
