Problem with Scrollbars in Reports

[craiga]

Anyone else having a problem with the scrollbars in SO-Manager's reports? I
can't click and drag them like you would in other MS applications. the only
way I can scroll a report quickly is with PGUP/PGDOWN, which isn't really
that quick.

Is this a common problem or just my installation? I couldn't find this issue
mentioned in the knowledgebase nor in the hotfixes/service packs.

yes, I have reported this about a year ago and they were able to replicate
it, but it must have not been a priority for them to fix. That's too bad as
it is quite frustrating.

Yes, the scrollbars are screwy, especially with very long reports. I don't
know of any way to fix it, other than using the PgUp/PgDown as you noted...

Considering how basic a "Windows" function it is, I keep thinking they
will fix it with each release.

For real it sucks. Bad. What were they thinking? And why has it not been
fixed? I would love to hear that one. It must be a deep problem rooted in
the reporting engine.

I have the same problem and also have never written about it. Glad to know
it's just not a glitch with me. I've developed wide shoulders through the
years because I've heard over and over again, "Gee, you're the only one
having that problem."

Anyway, how about the "cascading item screen." This goes back to Sales
Management Systems, so is for sure a deep rooted problem.
Every time we open the item screen (properties) in Manager it opens a little
lower on the screen until you finally have to grab the title bar and drag it
back up within viewing range.

Has anyone seen a fix for this? Hopefully I'm not the only one...

Ken,

You're probably using 800x600 resolution. You need to increase it.

Good luck,

Nope, 1280 x 1024. And as I said this goes back to SMS so it's been an
ongoing problem for us at every resolution we've used over the years.

Ken,

I hope you take some comfort in knowing, you're "not" the only
one....hopefully, there will be a fix where the window stays still!
