Description

IS works well on the desktop, but we have a lot of clients using ipads of course, and when scrolling through an ecommerce grid, IS causes the screen to go white and the grid to kind of wait to catch up all the time. It's an issue to the extent that we just can't use IS in it's current form at all.

I've tried changing the scrolThreshold ot trigger sooner but it makes no difference.

The ideal scenario would be if the scroll get to the end of the page bewfore the next page has loaded, instead of the scrol continuing and causing whitespace, it just stopped and waited for the next page to load.

Does anyone have a solution for this? We have tried v4 and the issue persists.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the white-space behavior on an iPad while scrolling an ecommerce grid with Infinite Scroll v4, then compare it with the reported scrollThreshold setting. The issue names no source files or tests, so trace the scroll and next-page loading entry points. Done means scrolling no longer exposes blank space while the next page is loading.
