BUG: Cursor jumping up and down when moving the cursor

Neovim Version (nvim -v)

0.10.1

Operating System / Version

Fedora

Describe the Bug

When moving the cursor up and down in neo-tree sometimes it flicks/jumps back to where it just was. I'm using the LazyVim distro and I haven't modified neo-tree's config.

This doesn't always happen, it appears to start after my laptop wakes up after a sleep. But when it starts happening it gets progressively worse until neo-tree is almost completely unusable and I have to restart my laptop to fix it (restarting nvim doesn't fix it).

Screenshots, Traceback

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open neo-tree
2. Move up or down using the jk or up/down keys

Expected Behavior

It doesn't flick/jumping to the previously selected line

Got same problem but on Windows, almost every time I move up/down, no matter j/k or arrow up/down. This is annoying.

[enzious]

I have the same issue, and it's also on a Rust project while running rust-analyzer, perhaps not coincidentally. In fact, I have not had this problem with my Typescript project and its LSP.

As you've stated, the problem gets worse and worse as time goes on.

I do not believe it has anything to do with sleep as I do not put my machine to sleep.

@hanwinbi Are you seeing this issue only with Rust projects as well?

[enzious]

Alright, I disabled git stuff and that helped I think:

return {
  "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
  cmd = "Neotree",
  opts_extend = { "sources" },
  opts = function(_, opts)
    opts.enable_git_status = false
    return opts
  end,
}

I have a suspicion that the 'diagnostic' indicators may also be something to look at.

On Windows, with this issue, and tried this for an Angular as well as a C# project and this did not work for me.

Try using this to see what is using cycles: https://github.com/stevearc/profile.nvim

Are you seeing high CPU usage?

I was having the same issue described, however it was jumping back more than one line (like 6),

I noticed it just heppened if I was inside a git repo. (mine is kind of big).
So I disabled git integration
opts = {
enable_git_status = false,

It all goes kind of well now (I, by default have some lag, I work remotely through Citrix on a Windows Machine), it can't get any worse 🤦‍♂️

[wllenyj]

This is just unbearable.

Anyone been able to fix this?
