So if you scroll too fast, the entire page is re-drawn as you scroll (!). 

ikjadoon Scrolling is one of the areas that we know Chromium was less smooth compared to Edge Legacy, and while we've started making investments in this area, there's still a lot of work we want to do.  I'd be very curious if you can get the same thing to happen in Chrome, since it's very likely we're inheriting this from them.

josh_bodner Here's what I've found. You're exactly right, inherited from Chromium Beta 80.0.3xxxx.x builds.

 

  • Chrome Stable (Chromium 79.0.3945.88): no bug
  • Edge Dev (prior Chromium 80.0.355.1): no bug (IIRC)
  • Chrome Beta (Chromium 80.0.3987.16): scroll repaint bug
  • Edge Dev (Chromium 80.0.361.5/9): scroll repaint bug
  • Chrome Dev (Chromium 81.x.x.x): no bug
  • Legacy Edge Stable (44.18362.449.0): no bug
  • Firefox Stable (71.0): no bug
  • Internet Explorer Stable (11.535.18362.0): no bug

The bug has been fixed in Chrome Dev (81). Once Edge Chromium stable launches, I imagine it'll be Stable 79 / Beta 80 / Dev 81 / Canary 82. For the beta testers, maybe the Beta 80 build will be updated so it doesn't exhibit the same bug from our Dev 80 build.
