Webpage Problem with PM and Windows 8

[greyowl]

I am running Windows 8 and Palemoon 27.6.2.

I am having problem with the following webpage:

https://www.sportchek.ca/weekly-deals/b ... tNumber=48

It will not scroll properly. There is about a 3-8 second lag when I try to scroll the page. I have tried it with uBlock origin enabled and disabled, and it makes no difference. I tried FF 57.0.2 and Cent browser on the Windows 8 laptop and neither had a scrolling problem with this webpage.

Please advise me if there is anything that I can to to fix this problem with PM.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I can confirm that this page does the same with Windows 7 SP1 64 bits. But checking the JS code, I saw that it try to avoid the fine scroll of the user for show "rows" of articles using WebKit code.

Code: Select all

,window.performance["webkitC"+s]()},
        !1)),document[f]("scroll",r,{passive:!0}),document[f]("keypress",r,!1),document[f]("click",r,!1)}},{}]

From what I remember from WebKit it was deprecated from Pale Moon in some moment and later added as partial support. Since the webmasters of this page use the WebtKit extension for always show merchandise (scroll to the end and you see in the URL https://www.sportchek.ca/weekly-deals/wk51/nike-shoes-25-off/mens/cleats-court.html#lastVisibleProductNumber=64 hence they know what was the last item you showed on screen) this tax the scroll and then the delay occurs(heh sorry the Engrish meme).

Basically for this page you will need to use another browser or tolerate the delay or expect better WebKit support from some volunteer.

Just scrolling up and down by dragging the scroll bar thumb quickly up and down from top to bottom and bottom to top many times I do not get any kind of noticeable scrolling delay worth mentioning in Pale Moon 27.6.2 (32-bit) using a Windows 7 SP1 64 bit OS. Or do I have to elsewhere on this page than just directly using the link posted (considering that there is not a lot of scroll space for this direct link)?

The webpage header expands and retracts (minimizes) depending upon the position on the page (from top to bottom):

Page Top:

Page Header expanded

Page Bottom:

Page Header minimized

but the page scrolling from top to bottom and bottom to top scrolls relatively smoothy and without any meaningful delay in my case.

This is not the problem webpage. See correct webpage above.

Thanks for checking again.

I get the same lag issue using win 8.1(x64) PM 27.6.2 (x64) with and without addons.

[greyowl]

I am wondering if this is a bug that needs to be reported.
Or, will the developer read this post and correct the problem?

I can confirm the lag here on Win 10/64 - PM 27.6.2/64. I tested also on PM unstable version -clean profile and is the same.
There is no lag on Firefox.

Lags for me too.

Lags here in PM, Chrome and Vivaldi. Looks like a badly coded page...

[tenseys]

For me it lags in Chrome, IE11, PM and Basilisk and works normally in Edge and FF.

Thanks for the verification.

Since the website works OK on FF 57, is it possible to change PM so that it will work OK?

Since that site; in my opinion, has a badly coded page, why should PM cater to pages with badly coded pages? This is a slippery slope in my opinion. Do this for one site and then people would expect PM to do this for all badly coded sites.

I think it would be better for you to inform the website about the bad code since their coder in their employ "ain't the best" and let him/her fix the problem since he/she created the problem. Either they'll fix it or they won't. If they won't fix it, then use a backup browser of your choice.

Thanks for the suggestion.
