Research direction

Reproduce the hitch with the infoview open while rapidly scrolling through a relatively large Lean file using J or K. Trace the infoview update path and determine whether rapid cursor movement triggers an update for every line; done means scrolling remains responsive while the infoview still settles on the current line.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I have the infoview open in a relatively large file, and I hold down J or K to quickly scroll through lines, the cursor scrolling seems to hitch as the infoview tries to display information for every line under the cursor. If I close the infoview I do not experience this behavior.

Is there any debouncing in the infoview to prevent it from updating for every line under rapid scrolling?
