Bases in Canvas not Rendering - disappears when not in active view

Bug reports

Hello, I did a quick look if there was a bug about this but I couldn’t find one. Posting here just in case. If there is already one somewhere, I’m so sorry. Will upvote that one.

Steps to reproduce

  • Open Canvas file with bases
  • Pan to an area in canvas without bases in view
  • Pan back to an area in canvas with bases
  • Bases not rendered
  • Re-renders when clicking textbox/card again

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

I expect the bases to be rendered and loaded once back in active area.

If this is an efficiency thing, I would like there to be an option to turn on/off or at least give a heads up of how many bases before it acts like this.

Actual result

Bases not rendered and only re-render once I click the card/textbox.

Not sure if this is relevant or helpful info, but dataview works fine in terms of panning out of active area and coming back.

I would also like to add that this also happens to embedded markdown files in my canvas with bases in them.

Can you please post a screen recording of this happening in teh sandbox vault?

I am not sure about the exact repro steps.

Of course~🫡

Here’s a video; I wasn’t sure how to embed it so I put a link. The issue mainly happens with panning. If it’s only zooming in and out, the bases render fine

Just some additional info:

  • The bases I added in the sandbox don’t have any filters but it happens with filtered views as well.
  • I’ve panned using right click on the first instance. Space Bar + Left Click on the second instance. Sometimes one base or two renders - but would probably say both methods have pretty similar variances. :thinking:

Regardless, just wanted to say I’ve been loving experimenting with bases so far!
