Globe autorotates very quickly if the page is in background for a while

[mighty-phoenix]

Hey @vasturiano
If I switch to some other tab for a while after opening the globe, and switch back to it, the globe autorotates very quickly for a while.
Kindly see screen recording for reference.

How can I disable this behaviour and allow the globe to keep autorotating at the same speed as before?
Quick help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

@mighty-phoenix I'm facing this issue too. did you find a solution?
@vasturiano any advice how to prevent this?

@slavanga you can pause rotation of the globe when you detect a loss of focus from the browser tab, using the visibilityChange event.

I presume you are already controlling the rotation of the globe in your app via controls().autoRotate = true, so this is an extension of that control.

@vasturiano thank you for quick reply. setting autoRotate via the visibilityChange event does not work for me.

here's a reduced example showing the issue: StackBlitz
