"endless zoom loop" in Chrome on Windows

[lars-t-hansen]

Observed by @sherinsugathan, I believe in Chrome on Windows, but not seen by me:

I see a zoom out animation playing in loop forever in my Windows Chrome browser for the address http://158.39.48.160/ml-webload.html

No clue what this might be. The graph animates a bit when it is drawn but this sounds like something else. @sherinsugathan, are you able to capture this somehow as a screenshot or video, or look in the developer console for errors while it's going on?

I'm unable to repro this on any platform so far, including Chrome 117 on Windows 10. It's clear that chart.js changes its animation behavior depending on the window size: at small sizes, it does not animate; at intermediate sizes, it does, and then at very large (or sufficently full-screen-like) sizes it does not, again.

Since this is hard to repro I'm going to remove the Important label, but we'll keep the bug open until something actionable happens.

Yes, I do see different behavior for different windows sizes. I am adding some more observations below:

• I have same issue in Microsoft Edge browser.
• At maximized and 125% scale state and some specific zoom levels, there is no animation at all. This behavior is common in all browsers that I have.
• At the windows level "scale and layout", I am using a recommended scale of 250%.
• There are open issues with the library itself (Chart shrinking uncontrollably on browser zoom chartjs/Chart.js#11089) somewhat close to the scenario I see. That issue also blames chrome specifically :) So I would not recommend spending too much time on this right now.

With the new dashboard we are now using Recharts library for charts.
Since the original issue was caused by ChartsJS, I think it's safe to close this issue.
