Description Blackketter Dean 2007-08-24 10:24:55 UTC

When the user hits the bottom of the list when scrolling in jive, it should stop (it does now).  But if they stop moving the weheel and start scrolling again, it should wrap around to the top.  Same idea going the other direction....

A couple of questions on this:

1) How do we detect that the user stopped scrolling? I think the only way is by using a timeout?

2) Visually how should this work? Does the list pop back to the top, or should the top item appear at the bottom of the list (and the same in the other direction)

I think it's more traditional for the list to pop back to the top, rather than having the top item appear again at the bottom.

Also, even though I wasn't asked, I think a brief pause when that happens (250-500msec) might help the user be aware of what's happened. :)
