Annoyance bug when resizing column widths with horizontal scroll

Post by raccoon »

Windows 7. When there is a horizontal scroll bar, and the horizontal scroll bar is scrolled 100% to the right, then attempts to resize any column with click-drag will cause the column width to collapse to 0 or until the horizontal scroll bar disappears.

Solution 1: The user can scroll just 99% to the right (all the way to the right and then left 1), and there are no troubles with resizing columns.

Solution 2: Program the horizontal scroll so that an extra pixel is added to the right of the scroll upon release of the mouse or keyboard arrows, so that the horizontal scroll is always at 99% and never 100% to the right.

I will look into improving the header resizing when the horizontal scrollbar is all the way to the right.
Thank you for the suggestions.



For now, please consider enabling update_display_after_scroll:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /update_display_after_scroll=1
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, update_display_after_scroll=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
update_display_after_scroll

This will make the "collapsing" feel smoother and give you more control.
