 ### Bug Fix
 
 - DataViews: Stop the infinite-scroll list from jumping while pages load asynchronously. The scroll-anchor restoration no longer discards scrolling the user did during the load, and the footer's visibility no longer depends on the loading state, so it no longer mounts mid-load (resizing the scroll container).
