Time between the loops keep increasing. about typewriterjs HOT 8 CLOSED

It should be fixed now, below is an example which will log the time it takes to finish the loop. It may differ slightly but it will be generally the same for every loop.

@tameemsafi It seems to be happening again, even on the example you provided. With each loop the time between loops increases a bit.

@haggen I have taken a look and I don't see the problem in the example above. Yes it does increase/decrease slightly but that is expected due to using window.requestAnimationFrame. However, it does not exponentially increase so there does not seem to be any issues. If you are experiencing an issue then please provide a way for me to reproduce the error so that I can fix it.

Click (tested on Chrome 75) and open your console. https://h9ht9.csb.app/

@haggen Thank you but it seems you are using the console.time function incorrectly. You need to run the console.time("typewriter loop") when it starts and then run console.timeEnd("typewriter loop") when it has completed. Please can you try that? It seems to work fine for me.

@tameemsafi Thank you for your quick response! :)

I'm not using it incorrectly. I'm using it to measure exactly what I want to measure, which is the time between loops--as opposed to timing the whole procedure. That's what increases with each loop.

Just look at the result and you'll notice it rather easily. It:

1. Clears, writes Banana and pauses for 1 second
2. Clears, writes Apple and pauses for 1 second
3. Clears, writes Grape and pauses for 1 second
4. Starts over, but every time this step is reached it adds an additional pause that is increasingly longer each time

@haggen I have now published v2.10.0 please let me know if you are still seeing the issue.

That was fast, @tameemsafi 😄 Thank you! It looks fixed now!
