to keep the place we're scrolled to in rooms. This mainly eleimates
the extra, superfluous onRoomViewStoreUpdate callback that
happened when the previous room saved back its scroll state.
Moving the scroll state to a separate store means we can have this
not emit events because nothing needs to know when the scroll state
changes.
If the js-sdk had a lot of history in memory for a particular room,
riot would paginate all that history into the DOM and render it
when switching to that room (before then removing it all again).
This obviously made switching to that room very slow.
This was caused by the fact that we relied on the setState that
happens in TimelinePanel after the pagination taking effect such
that ScrollPanel sees that it no longer needs to paginate, but
in some situations (as far as I can see, in electron...?) this
setState would not take effect until the pagination stopped
fulfiling requests from memory and hit the network.
Fix: don't resolve the promise returned by the pagination request
until the setState has actually happened.
Use `react-sticky` to implement sticky date separators. This will pin a date separator to the top of the timeline panel when the separator scrolls out of the top of the view.
A known issue of this is that the spinner, which is in line with event tiles in the timeline, will appear to push the stuck date separator down. In reality the first date separator after the spinner is in line with event tiles and is not stuck because the spinner forces the timeline to be scrolled slightly further down than it would be otherwise. But also, date separators in the timeline (not "stuck") have a greater height.
Ideally the date separator would be suppressed whilst back paginating, but this will cause the stuck separator to flicker on and off. This is why the suppression has been removed.
For reasons I don't fully understand, it appears that sometimes the
ReadReceiptMarker has no offsetParent. Rather than dying with an uncaught
exception when that happens (and taking out half of React as well as the /sync
handler), log a warning and suppress the animation.
- this should fix a race where if the 'hangup' arrives hard on the tail of the
Call.incoming, we don't ignore it.
(We still have a problem in that we blip the hangup tone and UI, but that is
arguably a separate problem)
Otherwise this is incredibly annoying when developing if you don't
have a scalar that will allow you to register (ie. if you're
testing against an HS on your dev box)
And remedy weird API in the process. Autocomplete now exposes `onSelectionChange` to indicate that the user has selected another completion, rather than returning the chosen completion via onUpArrow etc.
