Scroll bars
 

Am I the only one having difficulty with the scroll bars on this site?

No, Sheila, you're not. My husband has been fiddling with the computer and I was about to assign blame to him, but now I guess I shouldn't!

What difficulty? :^o

Yes. Sometimes the scroll bar on the right side of the message list is too far over to the left & obscures the right side of the titles of the messages. Most of the time it is okay. No pattern of occurrence detected.

What janeg is describing is a well-known phenomenon, and I'm sure it is not what sheila means. It occurs when somewhere in the "top 50" (or subsequent 50, if that is where you are looking" someone has used a "word" that is "too long" - - meaning between spaces. Without taking a chance on actually duplicating this problem, it would look something like this: Pisa/Rome/Milan ... etc - - except much longer.

Sheila seems to be describing something different, and I have not encounteres it, so I will not speculate on it.

Best wishes,

I've had some problems, seems like it happens on threads that are very long with many posts.

It happened to me which is why I responded to jsmith on a new thread called, "Who is this poster? (The sequel.)" I think hansikday is right. There's something about the very long threads that causes screen freeze. I had the same problem on a Paris thread.

The original question referred to the SCROLLBAR. I was having a problem which was that when I clicked on an empty spot to move the bar up or down, the bar would move more than it should, so it skipped some text. This was eliminated by deleting a recent Windows dowload with the number 824145. ((C))

Jed,

I have the exact same problem, but don't have 824145 in my list of downloads - are you sure of the number?

That's the number. In your "add/remove programs" on your control panel, you should find that number either under a Windows or Internet listing, with either a KB or Q prefix. Give me a thumbs up or down. ((#))

As I use the scroll bars, sometimes but not always, it gets "stuck" with a little icon to indicate that it has. When that happens they won't stay where I left them, but plummet to the bottom.

I may mess with the downloads and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the hint
