Other information:

After separating out the thumb rendering logic into a separate component we can isolate the rendering when scroll position is updated or thumb is shown/hidden.

The HTML and CSS output remains unchanged. The functionality remains unchanged. UI tests under ui/dev (ui/playground) all appear to be functioning as expected.

I found an edge case where it still triggers re-rendering. So this requires a little more work.

It turns out that Vue behaves slightly differently in dev and prod modes. It seems the effect isolation is more strict in dev and so it was not triggering the re-rendering of scrollable content when mainStyle was re-computed after hover ref was updated in @mouseenter and @mouseleave event handlers.

A complete solution is not possible without changing the code flow, as QScrollArea render function ultimately depends on scroll.vertical.thumbHidden and scroll.horizontal.thumbHidden values, which in turn change when showing/hiding the scrollbars in "default" visible mode.

Despite not being a complete solution, this change achieves:

  • No more pointless re-rendering of content when scrolling [had the largest affect on performance]
  • No more pointless re-rendering of content when showing/hiding the scrollbars, as long as contentStyle or contentActiveStyle props of QScrollArea were not set

This PR should be ready for merging.
