Bug description
sluggish when scrolling in pdfs when enabling Continuous option, but this happen for later pages (pages at the end) (if you scroll on first pages it will not happen)
Steps to reproduce
- open any big pdf (I opened a 3000 page pdf)
- go to the end or nearly to the end
- View > Continuous
- start scroll upward or downward
Expected behavior
I expect that scrolling should be smooth wherever I'm at the beginning of pdfs or at the end
