Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

On screens narrower than 600px (the sm breakpoint), opening any contextual bar (e.g. the thread view) makes it take the full room width and RoomLayout hides the message body with display: none while keeping it mounted.

The hidden scroller then reads scrollTop: 0 / clientHeight: 0, which the "near top" check in useGetMore mistakes for "scrolled to top" (0 <= 0 / 3). Each getMore inserts a page of messages, the DOM mutation re-triggers the MutationObserver, and the cycle repeats until the entire room history is loaded behind the overlay — mounting every message and firing media requests for all their attachments (images, video metadata, avatars) while nothing is visible.

The fix bails out of the position check while the container has no size, which also covers any future zero-height scroller (tab switches, animations, other layouts).

Issue(s)

Steps to test or reproduce

  1. Create a channel with more messages than one history page (50+) including some file attachments, and at least one thread
  2. Make the window narrower than 600px
  3. Scroll the message list once, then open the thread view (or any contextual bar tab)
  4. Without the fix, the network tab shows loadHistory firing in a loop and every attachment in the room being downloaded while the message list is hidden; with the fix, no history is loaded until the bar is closed

Covered by a unit test (zero-size container never triggers getMore) and an e2e test (message count stays stable while the list is hidden behind the full-width thread view — verified failing against an unpatched server).

Further comments

An alternative would be pausing the observers on visibility change, but guarding the geometry check where every trigger (resize, mutation, scroll) already converges is smaller and covers the whole class.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented hidden message lists from loading additional room history or attachments when covered by full-width contextual bars.
    • Improved small-screen thread views by avoiding unnecessary background history requests.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for zero-sized message containers and small-screen thread navigation.
    • Verified that thread replies remain visible while hidden message lists avoid loading additional history.

When the contextual bar takes the full room width (screens narrower than
600px), RoomLayout hides the message body with display:none while keeping
it mounted. The hidden scroller reads scrollTop 0 / clientHeight 0, which
the "near top" check in useGetMore mistakes for "scrolled to top", so each
getMore mutates the DOM, re-triggers the observers, and loads the next
history page until the whole room — including every attachment its
messages reference — is fetched behind the overlay.

Bail out of the position check while the container has no size.

Walkthrough

The useGetMore hook skips pagination for zero-height containers. Unit and end-to-end tests cover hidden message lists while a small-screen thread view is open. A patch changeset documents the fix.

Changes

Hidden room history prevention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zero-height history-loading guard
apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useGetMore.ts, apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useGetMore.spec.tsx, .changeset/hidden-room-history-drain.md
useGetMore returns before pagination when clientHeight is 0. The hook test verifies that getMore is not called. The changeset documents the fix.
Small-screen thread regression coverage
apps/meteor/tests/e2e/threads.spec.ts, apps/meteor/tests/e2e/utils/create-target-channel.ts
The end-to-end test seeds thread data, marks the room as read, opens the thread at a small viewport, and verifies that the hidden message list does not load older history.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 39b74

The change prevents hidden room history from being loaded behind a full-width contextual bar. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness that the regression test’s row-count assertion may miss hidden requests and its fixed-delay polling may be flaky or slow in CI.

Learning: In RocketChat e2e tests, avoid using data-qa attributes to locate elements. Prefer semantic locators such as getByRole, getByLabel, getByText, getByTitle and ARIA-based selectors. Apply this rule to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/tests/e2e to improve test reliability, accessibility, and maintainability.

Learning: In Playwright end-to-end tests (e.g., under apps/meteor/tests/e2e/...), prefer locating elements by translated text (getByText) and ARIA roles (getByRole) over data-qa attributes. If translation values change, update the corresponding test locators accordingly. Never use data-qa locators. This guideline applies to all Playwright e2e test specs in the repository and helps keep tests robust to UI text changes and accessible semantics.

- Around line 258-259: Update the history-loading assertion in the threads test
to verify loaded-message state or the history request rather than the
virtualized mainMessageListItems DOM count. Track the relevant state over a
bounded window and use expect.poll for count-based checks, preserving the
intended validation that a full history page load is detected.

Apply the same fix in `@apps/meteor/tests/e2e/threads.spec.ts` at line 259.

249-257: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Group the complex scenario with test.step().

This flow opens a thread, checks URL and content, verifies visibility, and checks history loading. Group these actions into named test.step() blocks so failures identify the failed phase.

As per coding guidelines, use test.step() for complex test scenarios to improve organization.

246-257: Keep the regression oracle independent of virtualized row counts.

The baseline and follow-up threshold still appear to use mounted message-list rows. A hidden history request can complete without adding a full page of rendered rows. Increasing the seed to 120 does not prove that history remains unloaded. Track the history request or the hook’s loaded-message state instead.
