AI-generated summary
Users are reporting an issue with the Topic List on Meta.discourse.org, where it appears to continuously load even when reaching the end of the list—especially noticeable in the Focused Sidebar theme. Muhammed_EKİCİ shared a screencast and screenshots showing the behavior, noting it occurs on Chrome 103.0.5060.114 and persists after clearing cache and signing in again. He clarified the issue isn’t about failing to load, but rather unnecessary infinite loading, which doesn’t occur in the Light theme. MarcP initially thought the list was loading normally, pointing out the user had over 600 unread topics, but Muhammed_EKİCİ confirmed he wasn’t scrolling—it was an automatic, persistent reload. maiki asked for confirmation if the issue was on Meta and suggested refreshing the browser, while Muhammed_EKİCİ further pinpointed the bug to a specific element in the Focused Sidebar theme (highlighted in red). Don mentioned a similar past issue that resolved itself. maiki acknowledged the bug, noting it’s known but hard to reproduce consistently. The issue appears theme-specific and may involve unintended infinite scroll behavior triggered by UI elements in the Focused Sidebar theme.

Topic lists are loading fine for me here on Meta. Not sure what the problem is, but they seem to be loading for you too?

yes, it is loading, but when it stays at the end of the list, it continues to load as in the image.

You were not scrolling? Because this was not the actual end of the list, you have over 600 unread topics as I can see.

Hiya @Muhammed_EKÄ°CÄ°! Is that screencast showing Meta? I just wanted to confirm.
I hope it was only a temporary hiccup, please refresh your browser and try again.

@maiki this is what i did: go to meta.discourse.org. Swipe down on the screen once and wait. The rest is as in the picture. It’s like a hidden hand is constantly swiping down. I am able to reproduce this on my two different computers. Browser Chorome version 103.0.5060.114
I clear the browser cache and sign in again, same result.
the title was changed to “topic list not loading” but in fact it might be loading too much unnecessarily
i have this problem in focused sidebar theme. In the Light theme, everything is smooth as it should be.
Adding:
There is a problem with the theme that I have enclosed in a red rectangle. The other focused sidebar theme is fine.
