Horizontal scrollbar in safari window

After the Yosemite upgrade it is very difficult to scroll horizontally across a webpage in Safari. Usually I have my Safari window seized to fill half my screen (Mac air 13") when writing in another window When I manipulate the size of the window from the bottom corner, a thin gray scrollbar appears, but only for a moment. Because of some motor control problems in my hands, this bar is too thin and disappears too fast for me to easily manipulate it.
Is there a way to make the scroll bar stay longer or is there some keyboard workaround for this function?

Hey luka_stan,
I see that you have some questions about scrolling in OS X. You should be able to use two fingers to scroll horizontally on your trackpad, as described in the article below. It is possible that horizontal scrolling is turned off, but that setting can be adjusted by visiting the trackpad page in System Preferences, as described in this link as well:
Mac notebooks: Two finger trackpad scrolling

You can also choose to have the scroll bars you are referencing shown all the time, using the settings described in the following link:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Horizontal scrollbar on tab page

Hi,
I'd like to use Designer for a multi-record block on a tab page with a horizontal scrollbar . How should I do this ? It is alright for a vertical scrollbar but what about an horizontal one ? Since I have too many columns to display on one tabbed page.
Thank you,
Denise

If you have many items that they cannot fit into a tab page, I think you have to put them into a Stacked Canvas. This can be done by changing Overflow Style to "Spread table" option in The Module Component containing these items.
Also, you can set WINHSB Module Generator Preference to 'Y' value to add horizontal scrollbar to module Window.
I hope you found solution for your problem.

Safari's horizontal scrollbar gone wrong?

Ok, I know it's not the end of the world. Everything's running like a charm.
BUT.
I opened up safari this morning and went to my favourite ****website, where's there's a lot of scrolling going on, and my attention was grabbed by the horizontal scrollbar. One of my favourite scrollbars.
It looked odd and maybe a little sick... I couldn't quite see what the problem was.
But then I saw the problem.
It looks like a weak rippoff of the vertical bar! (see picture below)
Did I fail to see this when peaking into the world wide webtionary?
... Did I? And for how long have I been missing this 'error'. Since the last upgrade? Or even longer?
Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
I would appreciate it.

I've got this exact problem, too. Just in Safari.

How can I add horizontal scrollbars to pop-up windows?

When I generate WebHelp, the pop-up windows that I created in the help have vertical scrollbars but no horizontal scrollbars. It hasn't been a problem for me, but another user told me that the pop-up boxes are running off the screen to the right and without the horizontal scroll bars, he can't read all of the text.

Yes you can but you'd need to add some JavaScript to your topic. Either that or amend the code already there. You should be aware though that there maybe differences in how they operate in different browsers. You maybe better off trying to change the size of your popups or adjusting the content in them. You can set a popup to any size by using the Custom Sized Popup option when creating the link.

Slow Swipe experience for Horizontal Scrollbar, in iphone & ipad

Hi All,
I put images in a DIV and enabled the Horizontal Scrollbar. The swipe action is too slow/short in iphone and ipad. I was expecting the device to translate scrollbar into a natural swipe behavior. By natural swipe behavior I mean the same sort of swipe experience you get when you scroll a web page vertically on iphone.
Link to website: www.fieldrecording.info
The experience is the same for both Chrome & Safari on iPhone. Below is the code related to the main div wrapping all images:
sym.$("Group").css({ width:$(window).width(), overflow:"auto", overflowY: "hidden", })
I found some tutorials on Jquery & CSS tricks, but I would like to know if Edge has some built in solutions to solve Swipe/Scroll interactions in a single attempt.

ADF Table Horizontal Scrollbar

Forms 5 Tab Canvas & Horizontal Scrollbar

We are trying to implement a tab canvas which will hold a multi-record data block. The difficulty is that we would like to display a lot of fields and there is no Horizontal Scrollbar easily available for the Tab Canvas.
We are thinking about "simulating" a tab canvas by using stacked canvases. The stacked canvas allows us to have the scrollbar, but looses some of the look & feel of a tab canvas.
Anyone try to do this in Forms 5? How about anyone try to place a stacked canvas on top of a tab canvas?

We're using forms 6.0.8.8. Our standard practice is to never put items on a tab canvas, instead we put stacked canvas' on the tab canvas. Besides having canvas scroll bars, it also provides a basis to work around documented bugs for refreshing/resizing windows when returning from other forms/windows of different sizes etc.

Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox - Not workable under Mac

By referring to this thread Re: Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox across multiple look and feel I try to provide horizontal scroll bar for JComboBox to my clients.
private void adjustScrollBar() {
    //if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
    Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
    if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
        return;
    JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
    // Works fine under Windows and Ubuntu Linux
    // However, in OSX 10.6.4
    // javax.swing.Box$Filler cannot be cast to javax.swing.JScrollPane
    JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL));
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
}The above code will cause ClassException under OSX 10.6.4. (Works fine for Windows and Linux)
Any suggestion to resolve this problem. Sorry. I do not have a Mac machine. Hence, can't experiment out much with it.
Thanks

The following code works quite well for me.
    private void adjustScrollBar() {
        final int max_search = 8;
        // i < max_search is just a safe guard when getAccessibleChildrenCount
        // returns an arbitary large number. 8 is magic number
        JPopupMenu popup = null;
        for (int i = 0, count = this.getUI().getAccessibleChildrenCount(this); i < count && i < max_search; i++) {
            Object o = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, i);
            if (o instanceof JPopupMenu) {
                popup = (JPopupMenu)o;
                break;
        if (popup == null) {
            return;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = null;
        for (int i = 0, count = popup.getComponentCount(); i < count && i < max_search; i++) {
            Component c = popup.getComponent(i);
            if (c instanceof JScrollPane) {
                scrollPane = (JScrollPane)c;
                break;
        if (scrollPane == null) {
            return;
        scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL));
        scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
    }

ADF input text horizontal scrollbar?

JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0
I'd like to create a user feedback messages area (read-only) using ADF that behaves in the same way as log windows do in JDeveloper. A multi-row af:inputtext is close to meeting the requirement except:
- if a line is too long for the window then a horizontal scrollbar should appear but inputtext wraps the line instead
- the window is not scrolled to the bottom by default
Does anyone know of a way to implement these behaviours for an inputtext? Or is there a more suitable component?

wrap=off forces inputtext to a single line which is no good. I want multi-line output, wrapping only if any line exceeds the window width.

Horizontal Scrollbar on Tab Canvas

Hello,
I have to show horizontal scrollbar on my tab canvas.
I have one Content canvas on this i hv 4 tab canvas with different datablocks. Need to show horizontal scrollbar as the number of fields are the more than tab canvas size.
Please assist.
Is there any other workaround, if it is not possible through any property??
Thank you in advance.

1) create a stack canvas and assign window to it
2) create your items on stack canvas
3) set the stack canvas view port width and height according to your visible area of TAB canvas (the size of canvas must be more than View port)
4) set its X and Y position according to the TABs
5) set show scroll bar to YES horizontally
6) set WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger to show and hide canvases based on current tab selection.
Hope you got the idea

Some (non-mobile) sites will not fit in safari window, refresh needed

Hi,
Like the title says many sites when I first load them on my phone will only fit about a third of the site in the Safari window, requiring me to either pan horizontally left and right in order to view the content, otherwise I'd have to refresh the site and finally the whole thing fits in the Safari window. I'd assumed this was a Safari/iPhone issue but it has come to my attention that not everyonemay be experiencing this.
I logged on to iTunes last week and was told I had the latest iPhone software. Any hints fo me on what I could do to fix this??

My initial response was gee buddy but you just described my problem!! . But I thought to try out what you said. At first, copying and pasting the link simply yielded the same results. So then I decided to work on the formatting. Here's what the original link looks like, if you press and hold down on the "standard" link and then copy:
http://fatwallet.mobi/save_settings.php?viewMobile=0&from=%2Fforums%2Ftopic.php% 3Fthreadid%3D978427&to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fatwallet.com%2Fforums%2Ffinance%2F97842 7
So I deleted out all the stuff before www.fatwallet.com, and changed all the "%2F" to "/", and that worked. So now one of three things will happen, in order of likelihood, most likely first:
1) I'll do the copy and paste thing to avoid having to reload the site to get it to display properly
2) When I forward the info to the content owners, they may modify the link so it works properly.
3) Since this happens with a number of sites, Apple may be gracious enough to supply a fix (told you it was in order of likelihood )
The reason I primarily use the mobile site is it loads efficiently and suits my needs most of the time. Only so often do I need features from the main site so even when I'm on the Edge network I'll tough it out and wait for the site to load. How disappointing when it doesn't load properly

Horizontal scrollbars behaving oddly

This is not a complete show-stopping bug but Logic Express (9) recently started having issues with horizontal scrollbars -- they center themselves. Occasionally they work as they are supposed to, but most of the time they immediately return to the center, which is really irritating after a while. I'll be scrolled all the way to the end of the timeline for example, and I decide I want to scroll back left slightly; I click on the scrollbar and any kind of drag makes it jump back to the center. It acts like the mouse cursor was there, too.
Reinstallation and trashing preferences did not fix the problem.

Same problem here, but it seems also related to the screen in use, at least in my setup. I'm running Logic on my MacBook with a native screen resolution of 1200x800. I have a second screen attached above it with a resolution of 1920x1080 which I use for the main Arranger screen, the MacBook screen itself is mainly used for displaying the mixer and AU's.
When the arranger screen is on my larger display the horizontal scrollbar is flying all over the place when I try to move it, but when I have the arranger window on my MacBook's screen it behaves normally. Seems like if Logic gets confused by the different widths of the screens, like if it is behaving to have 1200 pixels to scroll on while there are 1920.
Whatever happens, it's kind of annoying...

How can I create a horizontal scrollbar with a centered thumb that scrolls content from both sides?

I am having trouble figuring out how to create a horizontal scrollbar component either by itself or nested inside a data list component that will have it's thumb centered in the track when running and reveal content from either the right or left side when the thumb is moved. The furthest I have managed to get is to create a data list component with a scrollbar component inside that has a centered thumb that reveals content from the right side of the list (0 through 10 of the items) but only reveals blank area when tracking the other way. Is there a way to create say… negative items in the data list… 0 through -10? Or am I approaching this the wrong way. Please help. Thanks.

Mykola,
Thanks. I guess I was hoping for an answer that addressed my question from a designer's point of view rather than a developers'. As a designer with over ten years experience using Adobe products for print work it is difficult to understand why "centered" is such a complicated concept when designing art for use on the web. It is so frustrating to realize that most containers for images and text can only be resized by pushing and pulling handles located on the right and bottom; Catalyst seems like a great start but if Adobe really wanted to impress the "design" community it might consider putting all that supercharged code underneath the hood of some more familiar "design" tools. Maybe a "catalytic converter" would allow the introduction of a "centered" tool for every element.
After all, why is it literally twenty-five times more difficult, requiring the use of three additional programs to create a component that functions exactly like a typical data list and scroll bar with the exception that the thumb is "centered" on the track and reveals images from both the right and left. For that matter why not also have as an option a thumb that snaps to the bottom of the track and reveals images from the top… and one that snaps to the right and reveals images from the left when you run the project? It just seems so logical to expand the scroll bar component to include these options.
I am very glad to have Catalyst and will redesign my project to fit within the constraints of the tools available in the program but it seems that if Adobe is really serious about Catalyst being a window into the world of web design for designers/AD's that perhaps it might benefit by focusing on what might improve the program from the designer's point of view. I hate to say it but the Catalyst forum is already rife with answers to questions that are riddled with code… Literally. And to be honest most designers don't have the time to decipher that code. As a designer I work regularly and have a deep understanding of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, Final Cut Pro, Final Draft and modo. I do hi-res assembly, retouching, design and layout, identity, production, 3D modeling and rendering, video editing… and before I switch to using Catalyst for web mock-ups I am going to need a more "designer" friendly set of tools and definitely a "centered" control.
I really think Adobe is fantastic. But I also think it could take a lesson from a great little company called Luxology. I tried learning 3D modeling and rendering for years with programs like Lightwave, Maya and others, always with mixed results. Then Luxology came along and actually delivered on their promise to create a 3D program for artists. What was the factor that made all the difference? Well, besides the Apple award winning interface and sets of tools it was the training available on their sight. The program itself ships with thirty-six hours of quicktime movies. And hundreds more hours available for download. I have never yet not been able to quickly and easily find an answer to a question I had about how to accomplish something in modo. You know how long I have already spent on Adobe TV searching through videos and on the Catalyst forum searching through topics trying to get an answer to what I thought was a very simple question? Way too many. If I have a question about a Luxology product that I can't find the answer to do you know what I do? I call Brad Peebler, the President of Luxology. I'm not special nor do I work for some special development house with special privileges that is simply their policy. And that policy has paid big dividends. Both ILM and Pixar has licensed their technology.
Well… I apologize for this long response but I really think that if Catalyst is going to attract the market it wants that it will have to consider putting some designers on the development team. After all… Isn't that what the promo videos tout… Finally a web design program for designers. Well, I guess we'll see.

Horizontal scrollbar mystery.

In our application we use several interactive reports and we have an issue in some of them when using IE (horizontal scrollbar disappears).
I have spent last few days trying to figure out what is the problem without any luck. Here are my discoveries:
We use APEX - 4.1.0.00.32
Theme used Scarlet - 21.
As I said the problem only occurs in IE.
I have tested it on Windows 7 and Windows XP.
The problem doesn't exists if IE is set without proxy setting on (in the IE configuration proxy is off).
When proxy is set up the horizontal bar disappears.
What I have discovered is that if I turn off proxy, the compatibility view icon (in the address bar) is visible and the scrollbars are OK. However if I click the compatibility view Icon, the scrollbar desappears (this is in the non proxy settings in the IE).
If I turn on proxy the compatibility icon is not visible anymore and the scrollbars are not there too.
To make things more complicated the disappearing of scrollbars is random.
Does anybody have any suggestions what to do next (I am running out of ideas)?
Thanks in advance.
Robert

Well, I am not sure if I have solved my problem but it has been clarified.
The problem is with IE and the way it process intranet pages.
In the IE setting we have a proxy configuration where we exclude our intranet pages. If the site is listed in the exclude box, IE uses its "logic" and processes it as compatible page with no option of turning it off.
Because of this the scroll bars are turned off.
The only solution is to modify the header created by apex (which I have not figure out how to do it).

HT1277 Removing Horizontal Scrollbar from Mail

Can anyone help me remove or switch off the horizontal scrollbar from Mail?
The window is forcing received emails into one long line of text and I'm having to scroll horizontally to read the email, its seriously driving me crazy!
I figured that if I remove the scrollbar it will force the received the email to run around? Then I'll only need to scroll vertically.
Please help.

I'm seeing a similar problem in Compose. Word wrap logic seems to have disappeared. When I type past the width of the edit screen, the line does not wrap. Rather, the screen scrolls to the right. I don't find a word wrap option anywhere. And I've just upgraded to 6.01.
Anyone else?
