Problem
When a page contains a large number of DOM nodes, toggling floating elements becomes very slow. This happens because
floating-vue
is adding/removing classes directly onbody
, which triggers reflowing that affects a lot of nodesThis is extremely impactful, especially in analytics application that renders tables with many cells
I do not see that these added classes are used anywhere so I guess they are either legacy or for customization ability
Using the Egdge performance tool, we could see that


$_applyShow
and$_applyHide
are affecting many elements during the style recalculation phaseSolution
addPopperClassesToBody
option to disable the adding-popper-classes-to-body behavior
