Datastream Messages Scroll Endlessly Backwards

Issue

Datastream Messages scroll endlessly backwards.

E.g. I just finished a QSO, and used the scroll wheel of my mouse to scroll, but the scrolling didn't stop, it just keeps scrolling backwards!

I need a little more information but I suspect I know what you are experiencing.

Upon a disconnection VarAC reverts your datastream to its state before the QSO meaning that it shows you all recent traffic in a chronological form.

If your VarAC was up and running for long days with lots of traffic, thats can take a few seconds.... the messages are added at the top going backwards while in the end it scrolls you down automatically.

It is most likely you have hit a very busy datastream loading scenario that you tried to scroll in the middle of that process but in the end it should stop leaving you at the bottom.

If what I described this is what you have experienced, please LMK and I will put a limit to this process in number of rows (which I do BTW upon First VarAC startup - 200 of them)

So it just happened again (v11.4.1). This time it was after the QSO ended, I mouse-wheel-scrolled up, and it didn't stop for a long time. It stopped somewhere way up. It did NOT go back to the bottom. Normally, it scrolls up only a few lines! Something is not quite right.

I'm thinking it may be a message is too long to display click the arrow weirdness.

Try mouse-wheel scroll-up, while the arrow is green....

I think that might replicate the bug.

No, actually, it left me at the top after scrolling all the way back!

It still happens in VarAC 12.0.4. Bug seems to be triggered by the Message is too long to display code, and using mousewheel to scroll back the history.
