Description
Description:
Most of the time, when the left sidebar overflows the vertical space, when I scroll down, it doesn't let me scroll all the way down. Instead, it glitches and jumps up after one frame, leaving half of the bottom item visible.
I've seen this issue consistently for months, across upgrades, and with both the small and medium density list settings.
Steps to reproduce:
- make the sidebar contents overflow the vertical space so that you can scroll
- attempt to scroll to the bottom
Server Setup Information:
?
Client Setup Information
- Desktop App or Browser Version: 6.3 (PWA and browser)
- Operating System: Ubuntu
Additional context
The error is intermittent and typically goes away after a reload. I just reproduced it in the browser after a reload.
Relevant logs:
No client errors.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the browser or PWA with the sidebar contents overflowing, then inspect the sidebar's scrolling entry point. Done means the channels/users list consistently scrolls to the bottom without jumping upward, including with small and medium density settings.
