RoboHelp 8: Vertical scroll bar problem

I just installed RoboHelp 8. When I view a topic page that is longer than the window, sometimes the vertical scroll bars appear and sometimes they don't. If I click the <> HTML tab and then click the Design tab again, the scroll bar appears. The scroll bar also appears if I click the "Save" or "Save All" button. I also don't see a Service Pack for RoboHelp 8. Is that true?
I'm attaching 2 screen shots (both of the same topic) - one when I first go in to a topic and the scroll bar does not appears and one when I go to the HTML tab or Save and then scroll bar appears.

Hi there
No, there is no service release for version 8 as yet.
Could it be simply that focus is inside another pod when you fail to see the scroll bar? Perhaps you have clicked to select the Single Source Layouts pod and you see the scroll bar goes away?
Just guessing here... Rick

Missing VERTICAL SCROLL-BAR only in the TV Shows tab.

*I keep losing my vertical scroll-bar while looking at Television shows.* I believe this might be related to the Windows Vista 64-Bit platform.
What-ever it is, this problem has been occurring since iTunes version 9.x for sure. I am *currently on iTunes version 10.0.0.68* with the same annoying "find the vertical scroll-bar" problem. I have reported my concerns to Apple, but their has never been a reply and the problem has +migrated beyond iTunes 9.x now.+
The following are all examples of how or when...
1. enter the "TV Shows" tab for the first time since I started iTunes.
( as in today, last hour, or just xx minutes ago. )
( of course just closing iTunes and restarting iTunes )
( has not constant result. )
2. just got done watching a television episode in a separate window.
3. just got done watching a television episode in the same or list window.
4. switched from one view style to another view style.
5. enter the "TV Shows" tab from another tab such as "Music" or "Podcasts".
The only way to get the scroll-bar back is to switch to another tab and then switch back to "TV Shows". This sometimes takes 5 to 6 switches before the scroll-bar returns. And of course, it might disappear again if any of the above 1-5 examples occur.
I do have a couple of screenshots for anyone to view, not sure how to post it as part of this post. If you desire, request the screenshots and I will e-mail them to you for your reference.

I also have this issue with the scroll bar in Mail since upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I Google it... and that is what brought me here, so hopefully someone knows what is going on as I was kind of hoping that 10.6.1 would have fixed this.

Problem getting vertical scroll bar in tree

Hi,
I am adding nodes to a tree control dynamically. But somehow,
a vertical scroll bar doesn't appear during the process. I guess,
somehow, the tree is not able to detect the change in the height,
hence, is not giving the vertical scroll bar. However, after a node
has been populated with the sub-nodes, when I close that node and
re-open it, then the scroll bar appears. I really need to fix it as
soon as possible. Plz help!
Thanks in advance,
Cheree

When I open Firefox (after upgrade) it does not show right side vertical scroller bar. I have to take the mouse and physically expand the browser to get the scroller bar to show. (never had this problem in previoius versions of firefox)

Firefox 4.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7 When I open Firefox it does not show the right vertical scroller. I have to take my mouse to the lower right corner and drag it open slightly and the scoller appears It will stay active through other tabs now until I close or shut down firefox. Once I reopen the same thing again no vertical scroller bar.

Yes AT&T is my ISP. I use DSL. Currently I am not at my home address. I am currently on a cable modem on COX.com.
I am also receiving a warning message "WARNING: Parental control appears compromised!".

RH7 - Viewing WebHelp in IE9 creates two vertical scroll bars

An extra frameset appears to be in the main htm page (attached) that is generated by RoboHelp. Here’s the frameset:
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
<frame src="whnjs.htm">
<frame src="whskin_blank.htm" noresize>
</frameset>
When viewing the help in a Telerik RadHtmlPlaceholder control in Internet Explorer 9, this frameset causes our help content to appear twice. The content is stacked on top of each other, and a vertical scroll bar is added.
Manually removing this frameset resolves the issue.
Has anyone else seen this issue, and if so, are there any RH options for resolving it?

While I was using RoboHelp 7, I worked around the frameset problem by deleting the following code from the main pag in my help system, as suggested in the forum:
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
<frame src="whnjs.htm">
<frame src="whskin_blank.htm" noresize>
</frameset>
When I did so after generating help in RoboHelp 7, I found that the extra frameset disappeared from IE9. Later I upgraded to RoboHelp 9 for an automated solution to the extra frameset in IE9. But I find that the problem persists. On WebHelp pages with more than a single screenful of text, the double frameset appears, and the content for the page one is viewing is stacked on top of the Welcome page, much as described by TechComm2 at the beginning of this thread. In IE9, with content generated in RoboHelp 9, an extra frameset appears whether I delete the abovementioned code or leave it in.
My project is used as contextual help. Our developers have placed extra security on the project so that a user cannot view the help without first logging in to the application it describes. Because of this, I am asking our developers to help me look for a solution to extra framesets. But I did want to come back to this forum with an update and ask for additional comments from you-all as well.
Thank you.

Text editing window expands instead of creating vertical scroll bar

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I try to edit or post to Wordpress.com the vertical scroll bar no longer appears on the text editing box. Instead the box just gets progressively larger which makes it very difficult to get to other items on the WordPress editing screen, such as tags and categories. This problem seems to have arisen during the v31.0 auto-upgrade. Is anybody else having this issue and what steps can I take to solve it? (FYI, I tried modifying the setting described in another response about a similar issue using the about:config screen, with no success.)

I don't know whether your dashboard has the "Visual" and "Text" buttons, but I believe the Visual uses CKEditor or another WYSIWYG editor and the Text editor might be a simpler design. Are both affected?
I searched around to see whether I could find Wordpress.com support threads or other stories about it and I can't. So I'll fall back on some general suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove WordPress.com cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

TileList does not recognize the size of vertical Scroll Bar

Hi,
I have a tileList with a custom vertical scroll bar that I made, the problem is that when the tilelist gets filled, it does not recognize that the vertical scroll bar width is not the default 16 pixels (I think the default value it's 16, but I'm not really sure) but 5 or 6 pixels, so the first time it gets filled it shows 3 columns of items (no problems with the rows). The columnWidth is set to 185, if I lower it to 180, it shows the 4 columns that I want it to show (instead of 3). I know that there is enough space because when I scroll down, and then scroll up, the fourth column appears. That's why I think that the TileList is not recognizing that the width of the vertical scroll Bar is less than the default width.
Does anybody know how to make it recognize the new width? And how is it that it has to take a scroll down to get it to recognize it.
Thank you for your help.

Component on page not moving as vertical scroll bar is moved

All -
I have a mxml page that is a mx:Application. This page basically consists of a VBox
and a number of components included within that VBox. All but 1 of the components
within this VBox are built-in flex components. The one component that is not a built-in
flex component is the one that is causing me issues. The issue is happening when I run
the application, once running the vertical scroll bar appears on the right-hand side of the
page (as expected because I have quite a few items in my VBox). The problem is that as
I drag the vertical scroll bar from the top of the page to the bottom of the page, the custom
component within my VBox that I built is staying put (it's not moving with respect of the
movement of the vertical scroll bar). All of the built-in flex components that are within my
VBox are moving with respect of the movemnet of the vertical scroll bar as expected.
I appreciate any information that you can provide that will lead me in the right direction,
Thank you,
Wes

// THIS IS THE CUSTOM COMPONENT

How to Enable to vertical scroll bar in a table control

Hi,
I have created a table control with a wizard and later did some modifications on it. Problem I have now is that the vertical scroll bar is disabled on this table control. The end user wants to enter as many rows as possible, however as the scroll bar is disabled, he is not able to add the rows at the end (of the visible table control area).
How do I enable the vertical scroll bar of the table control?
Please help.
Thanks,
Vishal.

Hello Vishal,
In PBO.
Create a Module and in the module increment the value of tbcl-lines.
ex:
Data : L type i.
IN PBO.
MODULE vertical_scroll_bar.
MODULE vertical_scroll_bar.
DESCRIBE TABLE itab lines L.
<table control name>-lines = L + 10.
ENDMODULE.
Hope this solves your issue.
Cheers,
Suvendu

Vertical Scroll Bar Listener

I'm guessing this isn't possible, but I'm not willing to give
up yet!
I've got a datagrid that occasionally has a vertical scroll
bar. Whenever the scroll bar shows up, it crops one of my columns.
I know that datagrid columns cannot have percentage based widths,
which causes the issue I'm having. I thought the workaround might
be to add a creationComplete function to the datagrid and then set
the datagrids width using that. There is just one problem, the
datagrid does not "see" the entrance of the vertical scrollbar. So
when Flex is setting the width of the datagrid internally, it's not
accounting for the scrollbar.
Hope that makes sense. What I'm hoping is possible, but have
been unable to find any documentation on is to somehow listen for
the scrollbar which would allow for something like the "code"
below.
Any thoughts on this? I really appreciate any and all
help.

Vertical scroll bar disappears when I minimize the screen

I have Firefox 10.0.2. I do have a vertical scroll bar with both the up and down button; however, they all disappear when I minimize the screen. When I am in Ancestry, for example, when I minimize I get a horizontal scroll bar but there is no vertical scroll bar. I have no clue what to do. I minimize screens a lot when I am in Ancestry and it gets very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Vertical Scroll Bar on the device display

Hello,
I had the problem with both horizontal and vertical scroll bars. Managed to get rid of the horizontal scroll bas using the parameters ~itsmobileelemfactor and ~itsmobileelemunits but the vertical scroll bar is still there. As our transactions are developed internally, I managed to sqeeze the screen elements but still the vertical scroll bars are there.
I am testing with Intermec CK3 device with Intermec Browser.
I was going thru this forum and someone has suggested to modify the CSS.
Can someone help me which html parameters are required and under which css class e.g. font size, line-height etc to reduce the overall screen size? I am not good in HTML.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Narottam

I know you helped me earlier and provided two OSS notes. Those nores are installed.
Again, please let me know what I am missing to get rid of the vertical scroll bar. Strictly we have followed 16X20 screen size which is SAP RF standard.

Help with a vertical scroll bar issue with a List component

hi. i have a basic <s:list> that uses an XMLListCollection as it's data provider and a very basic itemrenderer. when a row in the list is clicked a function gets the list.selectedIndex then populates some text fields with more xml data. that all works fine.. the problem i have is that the vertical scroll bar on the list seems to be "clickable" - just like a row in the list. the scroll bar scrolls normally but when it's clicked the selectedIndex becomes -1 which is not helpful b/c the value -1 is passed to the XMLListCollection.
any ideas? cheers.

thanks but still problematic...surely the <s:List> component shouldn't return a value when the scrollbar thumb is clicked? i created a very basic list (see below) and made the list dimensions short enough so that there is a vertical scrollbar and found that when the scrollbar thumb is clicked the trace(event.currentTarget.selectedIndex) returns a number. that's annoying b/c i just want a selectedIndex value for a row that is clicked not the scrollbar.
any ideas to get around? cheers

Textarea: strange vertical scroll bar

Hi, everyone
I implemented textarea with JTextPane, code is below.
The problem is that,
when there is only one pane in the content of HBox, the vertical scroll bar runs normal;
but when there is 2 panes, the vertical scroll bar changes between visible and invisible again and again.
My code wrong? or a bug of JavaFX?
Thanks.
