[Bug]: Transaction table constantly resizing about actual HOT 16 CLOSED

Thank you!

That looks to have done the trick, I'm just using a blank file with 24 transactions, that seems to be the right amount to fill my page.

Are you able to reproduce this on https://demo.actualbudget.org (latest tagged release)?

This is not reproducable on demo.

I've worked out what the trigger is. When there are too many transactions to fit on a single page the scroll bar appears. It looks like there must be a very niche edge case where it's just on the verge of needing the scroll bar, and so flicks between adding and removing it.

To reproduce:

• Add just enough transactions to a blank account that one more will trigger the scroll bar
• Add one more
• If the screen size is just right (I imagine this is a very small window because it's only occured in a very specific environment for me) then the table will add and remove the scrollbar in a loop
• Adding or removing a single transaction will stop this from occuring.

Let me try reverting that PR and seeing if it persists, the 200ms cycle would make sense

You're dead on, reverting the commit fixed the bug

cc @lelemm FYI

omg. I will try to reproduce it

@matt-fidd can you tell me what resolution are you using on that machine and scale size?

from actual.

Looks to be a viewport of 1920 x 937 but I can't seem to reproduce it outside of my work remote desktop, even with the same viewport size.

from actual.

Aha! It's tied to the Chrome version, not so much the viewport.

I just tested in Chromium 1070081 and could reproduce it easily.

Official build for Windows:

Similar version for Mac but I can't test

nice, I will download it to test out

from actual.

tried to replicate, no success yet. Tried with demo and my own budget

from actual.

Ok, I was able to reproduce it now.
The cause of this is the fact that the number of lines in the grid is size of the screen, so the app keeps adding the scrollbar and removing it.

Try this https://deploy-preview-2941.demo.actualbudget.org/ @matt-fidd
I was able to use the demo budget. You have to delete transactions from an account to fill the screen like this:
