I also noticed this. It does not happen at another forum that was updated 10 days ago. I have the impression it’s because of the topic map at the bottom, that already shows after post 20.

I just upgraded a forum and it’s doing this too. After you scroll down a few times it just continues to scroll as if the space bar or page down is being held down and it pulls in 20 at a time until it gets to the bottom of the page. This now seems like a pretty big bug.

I don’t know if that’s what’s causing the problem, but users of this forum also complained about the duplicate topic map.

We had an issue introduced [on Monday](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a027ec4663867900cf56ebd342580accdde76887), which was resolved by [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/40bc0bcf98da9f3608f2d747a1ba43c5286c307f) earlier today. ~~That’s live on Meta, so should resolve the issue @Moin recorded.~~

@pfaffman if you upgrade your forum again, the scrolling issue should be resolved.

Best to post that feedback over in [Feedback on our simplified topic map experiment](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feedback-on-our-simplified-topic-map-experiment/307584)

Oh I’m sorry, you’re right! The issue is fixed in core, but Meta is running behind tests-passed at the moment. I’ll see about getting it deployed 👀

Looks like it’s fixed (on the site that I just upgraded). Thanks.
