I am on version 68 and I think issue still exist.
I think request to backend being made on main thread due to which tableView is not scrolling. TableView scrolling should not block even if pagination is implemented are not. UI should not block.
I've changed the history NSFetchedResultsController to use a background MOC, I think performFetch was hanging the main-thread. Also changed the batch size of the FRC to 200. Hopefully this reduces the UI hang.
