Tag Search Rendering Issue – Results Not Continuously Displayed When Scrolling

[reaching-infinity]

Hi everyone,

I’ve run into a strange behavior when searching by tag in Obsidian.

When I search for #JDex, which returns about 400 notes, the search results aren’t rendered continuously as I scroll. Instead:

• After the first chunk of results loads, I start seeing blank gaps (empty space) between rendered notes.
• As I scroll further down, many new results suddenly appear at once, instead of being loaded one-by-one or smoothly as I scroll.

This makes it hard to browse through the results efficiently. It feels like some kind of rendering or virtual scrolling issue.

Has anyone experienced this? Is this expected behavior with large search result sets, or could it be a bug or performance issue?

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I realized that the cause of the rendering issue is not the number of results but the number of results displayed at the same time in the sidebar. On smaller screens or in smaller windows, this issue does not occur.

Hence, I guess this is a performance issue that can only be fixed by the developers.
