Long strip chapters directly show the second page after opening loading.

Hello,

I just witnessed several times that the long strip format appears to be loaded in a new way, leading to the second page of each long strip initially being shown every singe time, regrettably spoiling some content if you need to scroll up to begin reading normally. At least this seems to be the case when opened from the MangaDex starting page. I just wanted to inform you about what I believe to be a new bug.

Yours sincerely,

Just wand to add that in this case, the first page is scrolled down by a bit, there are like 20 pixels missing and I need to scroll up to see the whole first page.

Long strip was changed so that all images are updated immediately based on their loading status. If an image is loading, it displays the spinning loading icon, and as soon as it finishes, it's rendered. The images are, however, loaded in order based on the current page: if page 2 loads before 1, it's probably because of coincidence or because page 2 happens to be so much smaller in size. Also, there was a dumb mistake I made initially where I had added a random 0-3 second lag for testing purposes but forgot to remove it from the live site reader. This probably exasperated the issue, but at least that part is fixed now.

The first page being scrolled down a bit was an issue associated with trying to open a long strip chapter from an arbitrary page and the header. Long and confusing story short, I fixed it so that the first page should always show up correctly, but when trying to open from an arbitrary page it's going to work only most of the time. There are forces beyond my ken at work here.
