Hi. In a Discourse site that I use daily, I am experiencing an annoyance with the Quick Access menu (the one on the top right that shows the recent notifications, etc), I click to open and then after a small but noticeable delay, the content in the menu is updated and things swap position.

This started maybe around a month ago when some update changed the way those notifications are shown. Before it could be something like…

**unread notification**  
read notification  
**unread notification**  
read notification  
**unread notification**  
**unread notification**  
read notification  
read notification

but now it moves things around to become…

**unread notification**  
**unread notification**  
**unread notification**  
**unread notification**  
read notification  
read notification  
read notification  
read notification

I think I get the logic behind this, but honestly, **the experience is really terrible** at this point, because I open the menu, my brain processes it very quickly, I decide where to click, and when I am about to click, things get moved from under my mouse! I often click the wrong thing any way!

I see several way of improving this

- go back to the old way
- make it lightning fast
- make sure it updates before showing anything

Am I the only one who finds this jarring?
