Scrolling bars appearing without action

I usually do not shut down my MBP equipped with ML for several days: I prefer to close the lid to have the computer ready to resume working. I noticed that after a few days of use applications start (together) to show scrolling bars like the Finder window below, even when system preferences are set to show them automatically (it's the default setting I never changed).
Is there any other wrong setting or does it need to be fixed by Apple?

This seems like a minor glitch, probably a snarky preference. No need to send it in for repair as you can easily work around it, while we try to solve it. Like working with "Show scroll bars when scrolling". The difficulty is that it only happens after a few days of usage. Anything we do try, we'll have to wait a few days to see if it fixed it.
Another usual step would be to test it in Safe Mode or another user account but here again it's not feasible because you can't work that way for days.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to resetsome prefs the way you like them.)
If it happens again open Console in your Utilities folder and copy & paste the information there at the time of the event.

Scroll bars appear without any request

It happened some other times before, but especially after the 10.8.3 upgrade scroll bars often reappear like I set them to always appear.
By setting them to "Always" and then setting them back to "Automatically" now, runnining 10.8.3, it temporarily fixes the issue, while on the 10.8.2 this trick didn't work. Notice that I usually do not shut down my MBP but rather close the lid and let it standby when I'm not using it: the issue comes after waking up my Mac.
However this should be fixed by Apple, once and for all.

Yes you can, you can use CSS to make a div panel and set the
scrolling to 'auto'.
Here's an online tutorial:

"Scroll Bar" appears when moving cursor - Satellite L305D-S5904

I just bought a Satellite L305D-S5904 for my mother.
It came with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I noticed that a tiny scroll bar appears at the cursor sometimes.
It makes navigation quite a pain.
Can you turn this feature off?
To clarify, when using the touchpad, moving the cursor, sometimes a tiny "scrollbar" appears at the point of the cursor's "arrow."
This is unbelievably aggrevating!
I've never seen such a thing before.
Thanks for the help!

> I've never seen such a thing before.
Maybe because you didnt work with such hi-tech touchpad??? ;) lol
This is a touchpad feature which can be disabled in touchpad properties.
Check you control panel-> mouse
There should be something about touchpad settings.
There you have to disable the Virtual scrolling.

The horizontal scroll bar appears in the middle on Safari.

Hello.
I have a problem of Ipad mini
A few user has the same prolem like me T.T when I checked other users is using Ipad mini or related Ipad series on web.
and I could not find solution for it,
The probelm is : the horizontal scroll bar position is changed as below image, the scroll bar appears in the middle on web page of Safari
after zoom the page out and moving.
How to fix this problem ?
I already did it with a few way to fix and it never fix in my side.
- Resotre factory mode : still happened.
- Turn off and on Ipad mini : still happened.
- Clear Cooke and data in safari setup.
If Clear cooke and data, it just disappeared on web surfing but this is only temporary way, I could meet the problem soon on web surfing.
Please help me to fix and share some information for it.
Thanks.

I am having the same issue. Went to the Apple Store in Boston and the Genius Bar escalated the problem to the Engineers and they could not even solve it. They needed me to send them an image of the issue. I went to another Apple store and the Genius there had much better problem solving skills. He used his own critical thinking and discovered that the horizontal scroll bar sits at the same height. The height is exactly where the split keyboard ends. If you take screen shots and compare...you will find they are all at the same height. He thinks since the keyboard is a new feature they havent worked out the problems yet...and we will have to wait for the update.
Ever since Steve Jobs has been gone the call to response for issues is getting increasing slower and slower. New products continue to roll out but they all have problems and bugs. Take Maps for instance...they still have not fixed all the issues (even with this 6.0.1 update). The Ipad mini I spend 700$ for and it is such a faulty product. For what I spent I would have thought I would have gotten a great product. I have all Apple products...phone, desktop, laptop, Ipad original, and Mini...but they have done me wrong over and over. It may take months for them to roll out the fix the way the compnay has been operating under Cook.
When will the fix come....I do not know... best of luck!

A centred page moves about when scroll bar appears DW Cs5?

Hi everybody, I have noticed that when you have web pages centred, that the pages annoyingly move about when a scroll bar appears. Some times a page is longer than the browser window and so a scroll bar appears on the right which allows the viewer to scroll down.
But what happens is, it then centres the page in the centre of the space that is left after the scroll bar appears so the page jilts from to side to side according to whether the page has a scroll bar, obviously this looks rubbish.
Is there any code that can make the browser centre the page in the same place, so that the scroll bar eats into the space on the right side rather than pushes the whole page over to the left. ?
many thanks for any help
Gareth

Ideally, CSS code belongs in your external stylesheet file.
While you're testing site ideas, you could temporarilly add styles to your HTML pages like so:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF=".\favicon.ico">
<title>Template</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">

To stop scroll bars appearing around iView

Hello all,
I've placed a small iVIew in the tool area of the framework page, below the masthead, above the TLN; right beside the KM search iView.
The user has noticed that when he doesn't have IE fully maximized, if he makes the window small enough then scroll bars appear around this iView. However, scrollbars never appear around the KM search iView.
Is there a setting or parameter that I can set to say, 'Never put scrollbars around my iView'?
I've already made the tray invisible of course....
Any ideas?
Patrick.

I have the same problem. I am trying to use a URL iView at the very top of the site - over the masthead. I only want a 10px high iView that simply displays a bar across the top. This iView is not contained in a page, has all of it's properties set in a way that should eliminate any scroll bar activity, yet scroll bars appear regardless...
Automatic causes the iview to expand to approx. 200px high... no good.
Fixed causes scroll bars
Full page - well, makes this iview the full page - no good either.
Any suggestions? There is really no content in it other then an image to create a bar across the top of the site.

A horizontal Scroll Bar appears when it shouldn't - how do I get rid of it?

Operating System: WIN 8, 8.1
I am using a website (ribbon.me) which has a built in horizontal bar on its Explore TimeMap (basically a combination of a map and calendar into a single tool) that users can grab with the cursor / mouse to move the date forward or backwards in time. There is NOT supposed to be a "standard browser scroll bar" but one is appearing in Chrome. It only appears on my brand new computer...on my old Windows 7 computer, using latest Chrome, the scroll bar doesn't appear. (Even in Internet Explorer on the new computer, the scroll bar doesnt appear...but I dislike IE and LOVE Firefox) How the heck do I get rid of this scroll bar?
Please help!

Scroll Bar Appearance And Inheritance

1. The only appearance property that you can modify for a scrollbar in a block appears to be Background Colour. This relates to slidebar you move up and down (not sure on terminology). Foreground Colour appears to have no affect. Do I have this correct? Can you modify the colour of main length of scrollbar? Can you modify colour of buttons at top and bottom of scrollbar?
2. What is best way to inherit scrollbar properties? Scrollbar properties are attributes of block. Seems a bit over-the-top to create block object library type just to get basic scrollbar properties such as width? Can inherit scrollbar Background Colour through block Visual Attribute Group.
Thanks

Doug, thanks for asking this question.
Hi ADAM...
It seems that a lot of us are asking the same question: Scrollbar Navigation-Make Actionable
(I created a low-fidelity proof-of-concept to test—using a datalist as you suggested. See link in my posting).
I have reviewed the video you refer to here, but you example still does not allow for individual items in the datalist (scrollbar) to be assigned individual actionable events.
Can you expain your thinking in Option 1, as a workaround? Do you have any other suggestions?
BOTTOM LINE
We are all looking to do the same thing... something we are going to see A LOT MORE of after Uncle Steve's TABLET presentation next week:
A scrolling menu, with selected items in the menu causing "navigation" to a certain point in a scroll panel. (imitating the flick or slide effect of iPhone).
Suggestion: Can you add a field to thedatalist so that when the "repeated item" (in edit mode) is configuredto do an action (i.e., On-Click, Transition to State), we can then assign the state you'd like for each item in thetable itself?
Now the issue is making it change the "State" within another component (i.e. scrolling panel). Can that be done?
Thanks,
- Rick

Scrollbar doesnt appear without clicking on the listbox

Hi Guys,
I have a very important questions and I hope you can help me with that. I use LCD 8.0
1. Is it possible to display a scrollbar in a listbox as soon as the populated items exceed the visible area before clicking on the list box??
Right now, I have to click on the box in order to be able to scroll down. But when i select items from one listbox which is populated in another and I would like to see as soon as the selected items is not visible due to the limited visible area that a scroll bar appear without me clicking on the listbox.
2. Is it possible somehow highlight and set focus on just selected item in a listbox when the visible area has been exceeded?
3. Is it possible to print the entire content of a listbox which has a limited visible area?
4. Is it possible to prevent selection of an already selected item in a listbox?
I appreciate your help in advance!!!
Thanks,
Diana

My guess is only 4th one on your list is possible to do. There are no out of box settings to do this, but can be done using script. On the change or exit event you will compare the selected value with previous selection(s) and set the Alert to display or set the focus back to list box.

Was updating ipad on new update. scroll bar on Ipad no action

can someone help me? I was updating the ipad with new software. some how it was completed but ipad shown apple icon and scroll bar which no action at all.

First, try to restart the ipad by holding the home and power buttons for ten seconds, until the apple appears and let it restart.
If it's still frozen, you can try a Restore from within the itunes on your computer.
It should take about 20 minutes.
And hopefully you performed a sync just before you updated, or there may be some data loss.
Let us know.....

Brand new 27" iMac scroll bar does not appear

Scroll bar does not appear in almost any window. To make it appear, one way I make it appear is to grab the lower right hand corner and move the window size a little bit. The scroll bar appears. But when I try to then grab the scroll bar, I must stay INSIDE the window as I move my cursor toward the scroll bar.
Sometimes swiping down on the cursor to move the page down, the scroll br will appear.
But there is a basic problem. The scroll bar does not appear without EXTRA moves of some kind to make it appear.
By the way, the scroll bar in the window I am in RIGHT NOW is appearing without EXTRA moves.

Scroll bars don't appear on Droid or IPad...

So I have a div on my webpage that has the Positioning -> Overflow set to Auto so that a scroll bar appears when the text overflows...the scroll bars work fine in Mozilla and IE, but when the site is viewed on a Droid or IPad, the scroll bars to not appear and the content in the div is simply cut off. Has anyone dealt with or seen this issue before? And are there any fixes? Thanks for any help in advance!
Also, is there a way to preview droid and ipad sites in Dreamweaver? Is there a download or add-on that will make those an option in Device Central??

Hi
First as I have previously said you never use floats on a page for mobiles.
The scroll bar you mention does not appear on mobile devices because if it did it would be totally unusable for almost everyone, (this is common on all mobile browsers).
Designing for mobiles requires a completely different approach than designing for a standard desktop browser, as one must remember that such things as the scroll-bar you mention would not have the required 'area' to be used by touch-screens or any way of getting focus in order to be used by a d-pad.
Even though media-queries are not recognized by older none smart-phone devices, their use would enable you to 'style' your content in order for viewing and usability on mobiles. Another example is that your main menu, (and entire home page) is virtually unusable without using zoom, (something many will not do) even on the Opera mobile browser, (the most popular browser in use for mobiles).
People use mobile devices 'on-the-move' even when browsing web sites, this means that in general only one hand is used, and the time taken to navigate is much more important than on a desktop, (were the user can use a mouse) thus the reluctance to use the zoom facility.

How do I get the scroll bars in iCloud Numbers Beta to appear?

I have been playing around with Numbers iCloud and have a long spreadsheet. The only way I have figured out to make scroll bars appear is to drag on one of the spreadsheet's borders. They appear, then disappear as soon as I get done scrolling. How can I make them stay visible or make them visible in a more elegant way?

I don't know if you're still working on this, but I finally stumbled onto a solution. I've been having the same problem using iCould Numbers on a PC in Google Chrome. I finally figured out if you 'mouse over' where they're supposed to be, they'll appear. So drag your mouse over near either the edge of that window or where the spreadsheet meets the format panel along the right edge (depends on what you have showing.) The scroll bars will faithfully appear.
