Loading Album List At Once vs Continously


Hi! Im on W10 on two different PCs and the Deezer desktop app works in a specific way when viewing lists like the album list thats really bothersome to me.

Lets say the list ist sorted from A-Z. Sometimes I want to scroll down to a specific letter of the list but when opening the album submenu only ~15 albums are loaded. To reach an album further down I have to keep scrolling and wait for the next albums to load. The mobile app loads the whole list at once, which is much more intuitive and useful. Having the albums load continously kind of defeats the reason of what makes a scrollbar handy to me. 

To make matters worse, if Im opening an album by clicking on it in the desktop app, going back resets all the progress I made by scrolling and I have to start from the top again. Which is very annoying to me, if I only want to add one song to the queue or something similar. Im using workarounds like playing the album and then opening the queue, because the queue acts as an overlay. It does not reset the scrolling progress.

I get that it may perform better on weaker machines this way. My phone is not that new and the album list takes quite some time to load. But on my old PC scrolling was slow too. It made me listen to Albums that come later in the alphabet less, which is wild to think about.

Id be very grateful if this behaviour could be changed or be made toggleable. Its my biggest gripe with the app at this point. Thanks in advance.
