A mouse wheel over the continuous strip did nothing, though the strip presents as a scrollable region and readers reach for the wheel to travel it. Route a notch to the same step the arrows take. A notch counts in document order rather than screen direction, so it is not mirrored in RTL: wheeling down always moves further into the text. A mouse reports the notch vertically and a trackpad swipe horizontally, so the handler takes whichever axis the gesture favors. The gate the arrows carry applies to the wheel too. Mid-jump the strip still shows the phrase the focus has left, so a step would count from somewhere the reader cannot see.
The strip mounted a window centered on the focused phrase, sized by measuring group pitch against the viewport. That ties what is mounted to where the focus is, so there is no way to scroll the strip anywhere the focus is not — the reader runs out of mounted content about a viewport and a half out. Anchor the window to what is on screen instead, the way the segment list already does: sentinels at either edge grow it as they come into view, and groups that fall far enough outside are culled by measured geometry. The focused group is no longer special, so it can be culled like any other, and a new control rebuilds the window around it to bring it back. Phrase-span widening stays in the view. It is the one part of the bounds that depends on phrase membership, and keeping it out of the window hook leaves that hook reasoning only about indices and geometry. This retires usePhraseWindowHalf, whose measurement only existed to size a focus-centered window.
A wheel notch stepped the focus one phrase, which is the right gesture for moving through the text but the wrong one for looking around it: the reader cannot see anywhere the focus is not. Add the other reading of the gesture and let them choose which they want. Under freeScrollStrip a notch scrolls the strip and leaves the focus alone, so the focused phrase can travel off screen and stay there. The window-start correction stands down while that mode is on — the groups a scroll mounts would otherwise fire it and drag the strip back to a phrase the reader has deliberately scrolled past. A focus move still re-asserts centering, so navigation lands where it says it does. The setting is off by default, so the wheel keeps stepping until someone turns it on.
Scrolling the strip in free mode never ran out of room. Each notch wrote scrollLeft unbounded, and the browser's own clamp never bit because the content kept growing underneath it: the scroll brought a sentinel into view, the sentinel mounted more groups, and there was somewhere further to go again. The momentum after a trackpad flick delivers notches for a second or two after the reader lets go, so it took the strip a long way. Clamp each write to the mounted content. Mid-book the ceiling still rises as the window grows, so a scroll runs on as before; at the book's end nothing further mounts and it stops there. Step mode needs no equivalent — step() already clamps to the last phrase, so the wheel can only ever be a no-op at the edge.
The strip's window mounted and culled groups without ever reconciling the scroll position to the mutation. Groups mounted ahead of the viewport pushed the content along, that shift carried a sentinel back inside its arming margin, and the sentinel mounted more groups — a loop with no reader input driving it, which ran in both wheel modes because neither the wheel nor the focus was what sustained it. Record a surviving group before each extend and restore it to the offset it held, so the visible content stays where it was however much width the mutation added or removed on either side. This is the correction the segment list already makes on its own axis. Alongside it, three bounds on what a wheel can do in free-scroll mode: a gain below 1:1, since a strip is one line of text and absorbs far less travel than a page; a ceiling on any single event, since a compositor coalesces what it could not deliver into deltas of thousands of pixels; and a suspension of every centering path while the reader is scrolling, so the focus-keyed paths cannot pull against them.
Five commits of iteration left the free-scroll branch carrying six inline comments, several longer than the code they annotate, and a few written to argue for a change rather than to describe what is there. Condense them, and restate the scroll-anchor and recenter docs as plain statements of what each is for.
The render window is anchored to what is on screen, which is what lets the reader scroll away from the focused phrase. But it only ever grew a chunk at a time from its own edges, so a navigation from outside the strip landed nowhere: the destination never mounted, the centering call found no element, and the strip stayed on the verses the reader had navigated away from. Only the return-to-focus control rebuilt around the focus. Rebuild when the focus moves clear of the window. Only a move qualifies — a focus the reader's own scrolling left behind stays culled, which is what free scrolling depends on, and one that moved within the window is already mounted. The cull walk also read the viewport's left and right edges as though document order always ran left to right. In an RTL strip later groups lie to the left, so both branches broke on their first iteration and nothing was ever culled; the window grew until the hard cap stopped it. Pick the edge to measure from the script's direction. Alongside them, a wheel notch that steps the focus now claims the event, so one gesture no longer both steps a phrase and scrolls the panel behind it. A notch the mid-jump gate refuses is still left to the browser, since it steps nothing.
An RTL scroll container counts its offsets from zero at the strip's start down through negatives to its end. The free-scroll wheel handler clamped scrollLeft to [0, maxScroll] regardless, so in an RTL book every notch clamped straight back to zero and the strip could not be scrolled at all. Derive the clamp bounds from the strip's direction, and mirror the travel with them so a downward notch keeps moving further into the text rather than back toward its start. Add isRtl to the handler's dependencies so a direction change cannot leave a stale clamp in place. Cover both directions and both ends of the range. jsdom does not model negative scroll offsets, so the RTL cases assert the arithmetic the handler applies rather than real scrolling.
The cull walk counts mounted groups, but the strip can render more of them than the window spans. A count taken straight from that walk could subtract past the window's own start, leaving an inverted range that renders nothing — and nothing mounted is nothing to measure, so the next extend had no geometry to grow back from and the strip stayed blank. Hold the count to what leaves a group behind, before it reaches the growth cap that also reads it.
A free scroll gives the scroll position to the reader, and only a focus move took it back. Two paths held that longer than the reader's scrolling justified. An external navigation clears it at the move, a whole fade before the snap the clear is for; trailing trackpad momentum arriving in that gap re-suspended centering, so the snap ran suppressed and the strip stayed on the phrase the navigation left. Clear again as the fade resolves. Turning free scrolling off left the suspension behind entirely, since nothing else clears it, so scope the flag to the setting that justifies it.
A trackpad's deltaX is screen direction while deltaY is document order, so applying the RTL inversion to whichever axis dominated reversed a swipe in an RTL strip and stepped its focus the wrong way. Normalize the picked delta once, where the axis is chosen, leaving both the free-scroll and stepping paths to read a positive delta as travel further into the text.

An IntersectionObserver delivery that carries both sentinels runs two extends before React re-renders. Both read the window bounds through a ref that only a render refreshes, so the second computed against the range the first had already replaced and its setRange discarded that first extend entirely. On a strip narrow enough to hold both sentinels inside the arming margin, one edge visibly lagged the other while the window filled. Publish each extend's bounds to the ref alongside the state update, so a same-tick second call builds on them. Keep the first pending scroll anchor rather than overwriting it: it was measured before either mutation, so its displacement accounts for both, and it cannot be a group the other edge's cull has since unmounted — which would trip the layout effect's isConnected bail and skip the correction. The shared observer stub fires one entry per call and lets a render settle in between, so the regression test drives the observer callback directly with both entries. Both test files declaring the ioInstances global widen to match, since the declaration is ambient and merges.

Sorry, something went wrong.
A trackpad delivers one swipe as dozens of small-delta events, and stepping on each raced the focus the length of the strip; travel now banks against a notch's worth before it buys a step. Also gates the window-start recentering on the scroll suspension rather than on freeScrollStrip, so the setting alone no longer strands a stationary focus that a link edit or resize has slid sideways.

src/components/ContinuousView.tsx line 758 at r3 (raw file):
if (freeScrollStrip) { // Keeps the browser from scrolling an ancestor alongside the travel applied below. event.preventDefault();
preventDefault() runs before extent is known, so a strip that fits the viewport — or is already at a bound — consumes the notch and does nothing. The step branch claims unconditionally too: at the first/last phrase, and on events that only bank travel.
Nothing is lost today, since no ancestor scrolls (root is overflow: hidden, and SegmentListView's scroller is a sibling of the strip band). So is owning the wheel whenever the pointer is over the strip the intent? If so, worth saying that here — the comment reads as "one gesture to one effect", not "every gesture, spent or not".
Either way I'd add if (event.ctrlKey) return; at the top: pinch and ctrl+wheel are zoom gestures, not travel. And if we do want to release a notch we can't use, it should hold in both branches, not one.
src/hooks/usePhraseWindow.ts line 93 at r3 (raw file):
viewportRef, }: UsePhraseWindowArgs): UsePhraseWindowResult { const [range, setRange] = useState<WindowRange>(() => buildCenteredRange(focusIndex, total));
range is now state, and nothing re-clamps it when total shrinks. The window is anchored to what's visible rather than to the focus (as the hook doc says), so free scrolling can leave range far ahead of focusIndex — which means range.start >= total is reachable: free-scroll well past the focus, then a phrase merge after the focus shrinks total below range.start while focusIndex stays numerically unchanged, so the render-phase rebuild never fires.
The slice is then empty and recovery is slow: extend('trailing') correctly refuses at line 145 (end >= currentTotal), and extend('leading') has nothing mounted to measure, so cullable is 0 and start only walks down EXTEND_CHUNK per sentinel delivery until it reaches 0.
Suggest a clamp alongside the focus reconciliation:
if (total > 0 && range.start >= total) setRange(buildCenteredRange(focusIndex, total));src/hooks/usePhraseWindow.ts line 119 at r3 (raw file):
// commit and the centering effects that run after it find it. An effect would paint one frame of // the old window and fire those effects against it. if (reconciledFocusRef.current !== focusIndex) {
This mutates reconciledFocusRef.current and calls setRange in the same render-phase block. A discarded render keeps the ref write and drops the state update, after which this guard reads "already reconciled" and the window never rebuilds for the new focus — the focused group stays unmounted and every centering path no-ops until the next extend or recenterOnFocus.
Cheaper failure mode than the one refsBookIdRef knowingly accepts (one extra render), so worth the three-line swap to the state form React documents:
const [reconciledFocus, setReconciledFocus] = useState(focusIndex);
if (reconciledFocus !== focusIndex) {
setReconciledFocus(focusIndex);
if (focusIndex < range.start || focusIndex >= range.end) {
setRange(buildCenteredRange(focusIndex, total));
}
}reconciledFocusRef has no other reader, so the change is self-contained. Low probability — no StrictMode wrapper in the renderer, so it needs a real concurrent interruption — but the fix is small enough that probability isn't the deciding factor.
