WinJS list view showing blank tiles

Question

Hi,

At times, when running on tablet our app is showing blank tiles for a list view. Number of tiles are shown correctly, but when I tap on any tile or if I scroll, it suddenly displays the proper content on the tiles.

The listview is in list layout and data source is indeed getting bound to the list view since number of tiles are correct. But nothing is displayed on the tiles. Adding to the weirdness of this is that it does not happen always. Most times it renders correctly. Is there any pointers to what could be possibly going wrong?

Answer 2

I was able to seldom reproduce this with remote debugging.  On the tablet 1 in every 3-4 launches caused this issue, but while on remote I saw it only once and was not able to reproduce.

I found a fix for it. We were doing display none on body till all our components were loaded. I changed that to opacity 0 on body and never noticed this again.
