When scrolling in month view, events only appear once finger is lifted from screen #2016

First, thank you so much for what I think is the best calendar app on Android! The month view is my most used calendar view on any device, and I especially love how Etar displays events with long titles multi-line in month view. Etar handles this great, and it is the reason I prefer this calendar app to all others. (The only other app I know of that has a similarly useful month view is the Samsung stock calendar, which I used on my old Samsung phone.)

That being said, I ran across an annoyance in Etar, when scrolling in month view.
When I scroll up or down (or left or right) in the calendar view, events that scroll into view are not displayed, until I lift my finger AND the scrolling has stopped. Both needs to happen, in order for Etar to display (load?) events on the dates that are now visible.
I attached a video showing the behaviour, with touch hints enabled. Notice how the view only updates once scrolling has finished and the finger has been lifted.
This is especially annoying because I sometimes just want to scroll one or two weeks ahead, see the appointments there, and then scroll back, without lifting my finger. In Etar I have to scroll, lift my finger, wait for the events to load, then scroll back, lift my finger again, and again wait for the events (which by now have disappeared) to load again.

I've observed that behaviour on a Google Pixel 10 Pro running Android 16, as well as on a Samsung Galaxy S20 running Android 13.
Most other calendar apps I know do not show this issue.

Let me know if I can help in any other way.
