Summary

I updated to Streamlit 1.24.0 and now my app is completely rerendering on every change. Something is just completely nuking the react elements and causing them to rerender from scratch. I have created two gifs to show you exactly what I mean. This is clearly not desired behavior I think..

I don't have time to make a reproducible example for you but I think the gifs make it pretty clear what's happening. I will just stick to 1.23.1 for now. It's particularly bad for the map element since it's zoom, center and it's loaded tiles get reset.

Good in 1.23.1	Bad in 1.24

Expected Behavior

Don't re-render everything from scratch

Current Behavior

It re-renders from scratch

@RmStorm Thanks for reporting this issue. I suspect that this is caused by a change we did for st.spinner. Is your code using st.spinner or cached functions?

[RmStorm]

Hey @LukasMasuch I'm not using the spinner directly but I am using both the cache_data and cache_resource decorators. Pretty sure that those invoke spinner since I've seen the spinner once or twice 😅

[LukasMasuch]

Ok, thanks for the info. I would assume that setting show_spinner=False for all cache_data and cache_resource uses in your app would fix this with Streamlit 1.24 (if you still have it running, it would be awesome if you could test this). For a proper solution, we might roll out a patch soon.

Thank you! That indeed bypasses the issue so your suspicion is probably spot on. 😄 When I disable the spinner I get the same good behaviour on 1.24 that I had on 1.23.
