In my case these are files I change many times a day. So yes they were modified minutes ago, hours ago, days ago, months ago and years ago. I don’t browse them in the app or the web. They are a database.
I think what it is doing is showing the last few changes but then for each of those files it adds when they were first uploaded, which was years ago. So the log is a mixture of recent history and ancient history. If I scroll down it adds more recent history to the top and more ancient history at the bottom.
As I scroll I down I see the same event over and over again because it keeps adding new stuff in front of it and pushing it ever lower. For example, one of the first uploads was 7 years ago. When I scroll down to that it shows at the bottom of the log but when I scroll a few lines more, instead of it moving up the screen it jumps back to middle of the four year old changes and I can scroll down to the 7 year change over and over again.
Now I understand what it is doing, it is less of problem but it is very confusing presentation, and not the way a scrolling log should work. It shouldn’t show the original upload events until it has shown all the more recent events first.
