Uncontrollable vertical scroll problem

Scroll bar started getting jumpy for a few days then suddenly started going all Warp Factor 99 to bottom of window and refusing to go back up no matter how gently I tried to manually move it. So then I threw Mighty Mouse against the wall in frustration a couple times and it didn't break, so I guess that's a good thing. Finally, I turned scrolling off in mouse preferences just so I could manoeuver around a screen. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it even a mouse problem or could it be something wrong with the computer itself? (Help me! But in lay language, please, as I am a little old lady and am not terribly fluent in Geek.) Thank you.

Hi anklebyter (nice name), I had the same thing happen to me on my G5, I never found the root of the problem, but restarting helped. You might also consider resetting the PRAM. Just click on the blue link and follow the instructions.
Let us know how you make out,

T43 Vertical Scrolling Problem (not just Firefox)- Any official response from Lenovo

After searching the forum, i have not been able to find any response from Lenovo as to how to correct this problem.
Incidentally, my "occasional" vertical scrolling problem occurs in any browser, IE7, Firefox3, Opera9 (at least those 3) as well as Windows applications with a vertical scroll bar like Windows Explorer.
This only started to occur very randomly around 6 months ago. But as of late it is occuring more often.
The only work-around
http://blog.jonschneider.com/2008/03/workaround-thinkpad-gets-into-always.html
might indicate that it is a possible hardware problem.
However, I have to say that I rarely use the laptop scrolling buttons and 99.9% of the time, latetly, I use a Logitech laser USB mouse for scrolling purposes.
As another possible work-around (if you are using an external mouse) is to uncheck the enable virtual scrolling in the touchpad properties window.
I certainly hope it is not a hardware problem, as the warranty on my T43 ran out a long time ago.
btw, I am running Windows XP Pro XP3.

Vertical Scrolling problem in Safari

I'm currently having an odd vertical scrolling problem in Safari. This issue is not reproduced in Chrome or Firefox.
I've been able to reproduce this issue doing something very simple:
I have a browser wide rectangle with a solid color.
Beneath that I have a browser wide photo. (Rectangle set to browser edges and then fit to fill with photo.)
And beneath that I have another browser wide rectangle with a solid color.
Then I scroll.
Once the photo (the middle element) reaches the top of the screen I have shut the scrolling off so the photo will stay static. (Initial motion 1 / Final motion 0 set in the "Fill/Scroll" tab - and the key position is set so it stops at the top of the browser.) As expected, the lowest box continues to scroll upwards and cover the static photo.
This very simple effect is flawless in Preview mode, Chrome, and Firefox.
Yet in Safari, the photo, once it reaches its resting spot, does stay static, but seems to jump and jitter all over the place while I continue scrolling and the below content covers it. (In the other browsers it's super solid like a real static background.)
I've read there are some parallax scrolling bugs in Safari Mavericks. But I'm still in an older operating system using 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
Any suggestions or work arounds on how to correct this? (Again, I'm controlling the scroll using the scroll tab found with "Fill". Should I also be using the one found under Scroll Effects? What the best one to use? Although it does work in the other browsers… so… maybe I'm not doing anything wrong and this really is a Safari problem.)
Thanks you.

Brushes Vertical Scrolling Problem

I have been using PSE8 for a month now. I have a problem with my brushes. When my brushes palette dialog box is open and I want to use my mouse to hold the vertical scroll bar on the left down. Once I click on it with my mouse pointer, the whole dialog box closes. So, that means that if I want to scroll up or down my list of brushes I have to use the arrow keys on my keyboard. Could someone please tell me what is going on?

Several people have reported this problem; so it’s possibly a bug.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2538490#2538490
Does it make any difference if you click on the arrow icon >> and select re-set brushes? You will find this towards the top right of the brushes pallet.

...how can i access myscreen varible outside of my paint function?Why don't you call the variable myGraphics? myscreen is a confusing name for a variable that refers to Graphics object because there's quite a different class Screen in MIDP API.
As for accessing Graphics from outside of paint, I am not sure if that's a good idea. If memory serves, it can change in different invocations of paint (check the Canvas class javadocs for details if you're interested).
To have a reliable reference to Graphics, I would rather use GameCanvas (it's a subclss of Canvas with some additional features).

Problem with Vertical scroll in table control

Dear All,
I am facing a problem with table control in module pool program. currently it displays 6 lines, but it does not display the vertical scroll button, even though when I fill data in the six rows and hit enter.
I have set the vertical scroll option on the table control properties also.
Can someone help me by sending some sample code?
Thanks,
Amit Goyal

HI Amit ,
If you have already selected the properties of vertical and horizontal scroll bar then no other operations needed .. if the number of rows increases then that of the table control , you will automatically see the Vertical scroll in your table control ..
if still you dont see it then write back ..
Reward if helpful !
Thanks

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

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

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!".

Full screen vertical scroller sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem or there's some information that my elucidate this mystery:
Our publication ran a page with a full-screen vertical scrolling overlay today for the iPad. Inside of Viewer the folio flipped from page to page just fine, but once published we were unable to move between pages any longer once on this particular page. We've run full-screen vertical overlays before without incident and we're stumped to understand why the Viewer elicited no issues while the final publication did.
I put this question to you, Forum: Any thoughts?

How to use vertical scroll browser in Flex web app?

Hi,
I´m developing a web app with flex3. Web app has linkbar connected to a viewstack,
that contain inside a canvas that change the height property depending on the option
selected on the linkbar. My problem is that, when the viewstack resizes his canvas
and has the height property bigger than the resolution of the web browser, shows a
vertical and horizontal scroll inside de canvas. I need not to show the scrollbars
inside the canvas, I need to show the vertical scroll bar in the general container, I
think in application. I try to set the property verticalScrollPolicy to "off" in the containers
and "auto" or "on" in application. The containers don´t show now the scrolls bar and
application shows an empty vertical scroll bar. I would need to have an vertical scroll
bar working properly in application. Somebody could help me, please.
Thanks,

I could make it work by dragging them to the src folder.
That's exactly what you need to do. After all, they're source files
When you define "src" as the source directory, that's where the compiler will look for classes/packages.
So the package net.xyz.widgets.* resolves to src/net/xyz/widgets/

Disable Vertical scroll but enable Page down in Table control for BDC

Hello All
In my 4.6C sysem , i had enabled Scroll bar in table control by populating TABC-lines = <No of records>...Then when i try to capture the BDC recording of this , then the scrolling event is not captured in BDC , as we all know.....
So i put few buttons on the application bar as NEXT PAGE, NEXT LINE , PREV PAGE n PREV LINE...and i did the scrolling by writing the code manually in PAI...and that is getting captured in BDC so my problem is partially solved...
Now as u see..i have default working Scroll bar on my T.C..also i have my buttons on the application bar....i want to get rid of the vertical scrolling....so now i am NOT populating the TABC-lines field...But as soon as i do this , my buttons stopped also working...Any idea how to get rid of this ?
In short when i don't write : TABC-lines = no_of_records .....to remove vertical scroling.......my manual scrolling mechanism also getting disabled..
Is it possible to remove only vertical scrolling ?
Thanks in advance .

Bottom right corner resize controls trump vertical scroll button if set to appear in the bottom corner

My bottom right corner square of the Firefox window normally sits below the bottom of the vertical scroll bar and right of the horizontal scroll bar if one exists. The square is used to click and drag to resize the window's right and bottom boundaries.
At issue is when a web site places its vertical scroll down-arrow button in the bottom right corner. I cannot access the down-arrow button with my mouse to cause the page to scroll down a few lines at a time because when I point the mouse there, I get the resize controls instead. Even though the down-arrow button is plainly visible on the screen, the resize controls take charge and I cannot use the scroll control.
Two example web sites display their down-arrow control at the very bottom of the window; TIME.com and GMAIL.com. I have also viewed two PDF documents in the browser, and they too, have a vertical scroll bar all the way to the bottom, and I cannot use that down-arrow button because instead I get the northwest-southeast click-to-resize cursor instead of the mouse pointer when I attempt to use that button for scrolling.
Someone on the Google Help forum was not able to replicate that issue, showing me screenshots of his lower right corner mouse behavior. He does not have the resize control covering access to the scroll bar.
I am using the latest Firefox, I have reset Firefox, thus dumping all of my add-ons and custom settings, and have only put back AdBlock Plus and Cookie Monster. And Troubleshooter, when I asked a similar question.
I am running Windows XP, on its last days of support. This computer is not capable of running anything newer, unless I run with Linux.
Going to TIME.com, its vertical scroll is in the bottom corner and I get the resize control arrows instead of the mouse pointer when I point to the down-button. If I disable page styles in the View menu, I get a useful output that sets the end of the vertical scroll above the bottom corner. So somebody's idea of styling the page (CSS) creates this issue for me.
Going to Gmail, turning off the styles gives me a useless output of nonsense, so I must use page styling enabled.
Can someone please give me some guidance? This forum page has vertical and horizontal scroll above and left of the bottom corner square. I have access to all the parts of both scroll bars, as is the case on most well-designed pages.
My window-resize controls are in charge always of the bottom corner square even if the vertical scroll is supposed to be there.
See also my first wording of this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/993519

Those layout.css prefs are about enabling some CSS feature, in this case vertical writing, so have nothing to do with scroll bars.

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?
