[Resolved] Chrome 56 and Menu sticky issue

[Enrico]

Good morning,
if I use menu stick on desktop with Chrome 56 sometime some pages keep scrolling slowly and then stop in the same points.

If I remove menu stick option the problem disappear.

With Chrome 55 or Firefox no problem but with Chrome 56 or Chrome 58 Yellow, I have the problem.

I have read that from Chrome 56 Google has reintroduced stick position https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/12/position-sticky

Could be a conflict of functionality?

[Enrico]

It could be a chrome 56 problem, I just noticed the same problem on this site http://www.ilsole24ore.com. They use sticky menu and in this case the sticky menu is flashing and scrolling the page.

I sent a bug report to chrome

Hmm, I’ve never noticed anything like that and use Chrome 56. Maybe a video of what you’re experiencing would help?

Hi Tom, I noticed that the random scrolling is happening only on some page if I am logged in. I will investigate better.

[Enrico]

I was wrong it happen also if I am not logged in.

This is the video of the problem.

The fast scrolling of the page is not the problem is me, the slow scrolling is the problem.

Have you tried from a different computer?

[Enrico]

No, unfortunately I have only an other Pc but is with Linux. I have only one PC with Windows 7. If you go in my home page it could be that you see the problem.

I tested the problem with a fresh install of Chrome 58 without app or extension. The problem is always there.

I changed the mouse. The problem is always there.

With Chrome 55 the problem disappear.

Here’s what I’m seeing: https://www.screencast.com/t/YnRpa7ag

To see the problem you need to stop scrolling for few second. In the home page it happen when the sticky menu is over the image. See my video.

In the blockchain post it happen if you Click on an internal hyperlink of the summary.

Any way, if you don’t see the problem it could be my PC.

[Tom]

Hmm, I did stop quite a bit while looking.

Just to add that I can’t see the same issue either..

[Enrico]

Thanks a lot, for your tests. It is probably a Chrome conflict with something in my PC.

[Enrico]

I changed the Sticky Navigation Transition from None to Fade. The problem is gone for the moment.

The stick menu is working the same, I don’t see any difference from none to fade transition, but the scroll problem is gone for the moment.

I tested Chrome 56 and 58

[Tom]

Very strange, will be interesting to see if anyone else has the same issue come up.
