Web app sometimes loads with default appearance after being inactive

Open Doeke opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug I have standardnotes always open in a pinned tab. When I come back to this tab after a while (especially after my computer has been suspended), the app will often load with the default (white) appearance even though another appearance was selected previously. Refreshing the page fixes it. I have had this happen in both firefox and chrome

To Reproduce

  1. Leave Standardnotes open in a tab without using it for a long time
  2. Switch to the tab with Standardnotes
  3. It renders with default (white) appearance instead of previously selected appearance

Expected behavior App should always load with previously selected appearance

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Browser: Firefox, Chrome
  • Version: Multiple versions, this bug has been happening for a long time

Additional context I think it's related to the way browsers suspend and resume inactive tabs

I'll try to take a screenshot next time it happens, to show that the app renders a different appearance than the one selected
