Got the log files; looking at them. Did you newly create this rule for the test?
@toggledbits no, it has been around for a while. Has been renamed though
-
OK. I just pushed 25291 for 64-bit Intel/AMD only (should be correct for your Synology NAS). Give that a try.

@toggledbits will report shortly (price_array updates at midnight), but wow, Set Rules widget is now lightning fast!

Haha! Yeah, I gave it a specialized API endpoint. It's much faster to gather the necessary data on the server side and just push it through.

@toggledbits I have a couple of "known" issues left with my rules. One is where I have a VERY long rule, a lot of conditions, but even more stuff in reactions, especially groups. It works, but when editing this rule, and trying to scroll down to reactions, I'm constantly taken back to the beginning. After a while (maybe as the whole content is loaded or something?) I'm able to scroll up or down without UI "resisting" (for the lack of better word or description). Not a bug, but more of a usability issue.
I guess I could or should divide the contents to one or two other rules, so that there wouldn't be one long rule as it seems to cause problems. But if you want to look at this, I could send you a JSON file of the rule so that you get a better idea?

Yes, I'd be interested in looking at that. I think you can re-use the link I sent you previously.
Also, I pushed a 25292 build this morning. One of the two issues addressed therein could be related to what you are seeing, so if you haven't gone to that build yet, you might try it first.

@toggledbits just sent that rule as a JSON, and updated to 25292 which did not address this issue of scrolling a long rule

this issue of scrolling a long rule
That is a huge rule. I'm not going to address this now. I may look at it later, but I think this case is a true outlier and the juice may not be worth the squeeze. jQuery determines when to draw the objects on screen, and that's causing the scroll shifts as it adds new objects and the browser adds them to the display. I can't prevent the scroll shift when new objects are added; that's between jQuery and the browser. The only thing I could reasonably do is prevent jQuery drawing anything at all until the entire structure has been created off-screen, then draw it all at once. My desktop is an i9-9900K, so pretty fast even by today's standards, and it takes almost 15 seconds in Brave to create the entire page structure. That means you'd have 15 seconds of a blank page (or maybe a spinner and a "Please wait...") while it works at it. I don't really feel like much is gained by doing that, because your real goal is to be able to start looking through the rule while it's still drawing.
This rule is begging to be broken up. For what it's worth, I'm also working on changes to support parameterized rules and reactions that could make logic like this more modular and less "verbose" and repetitious in terms of their structure.

@toggledbits understood. The other case I still have is two rules having partly the same logic, but those identical bits are not behaving in the same way. Just started logging those rules and the next time they behave differently I’ll send you logs along with description what was expected to happen.

@toggledbits now this other case "triggered", so I'll send you rules as JSON and logs with some explanations
@tunnus OK. We got that one, too! Thanks for sticking with that process and getting me a lot of good information.
Build 25304 is now fully released for all platforms and architectures. Please see the release announcement for a full list of change.
