General Scroll

[fourbie]

This is nowt to do with my Panda as such so I am not sure I have posted this in the right place.:idea:
When I open some pages - this is on my PC - I lose the scroll bar on the right side of the page's window. The only way I can scroll down (or up) is to use the up/down buttons on my keyboard.
So what am I doing wrong??

I Google

scroll bars missing in ????

???? = name of the program / browser I am using

had it a few time of the Last few decades and always a simple setting

I use W10 and my browser is Chrome. In fact I am turning more and more to Chrome these days!!

I dont use chrome, but do have it installed

Google comes back with these two fixes

I do have a few browsers installed. It all needs standardising,


occasionally I come across a form that only works in old fashioned internet explorer

Thanks for raising this issue fourbie, I'm having the exact same problem. My "tech" skills are pathetically nonexistent so I've just been living with it. I find I can temporarily correct it by fiddling with the sizing function - resetting it to 100% - but it tends to go back to loosing the sidebar when I shift to another screen.

When you run a webpage in its own window its easy to slide it around and lose a view at the edges. Go to the tool/menu bar along the top and select full screen. If you are using Chrome, suggest you move to something less arrogant like Firefox or even Safari. Chrome programmers assume you know the foibles making it a total pain in the A to use.

First thing I tried.
Not a solution I'm afraid.
I love Chrome and disliked Firefox when I had it as much as Windows.

I use Safari on Mac which just does the job so that's me out. Good luck finding a solution.

On the other hand does this help?

Apart from keyboard shortcuts (which are horrible) the Mac is not "that" different but when forced to use Microsoft, you realise just how clunky Windows is.

And when you need specific software you realize how incompatible it is

It's the use of specific software that requires me to use Windoze. But 95/100 the Mac is more than good enough and usually a lot better for everything else. It runs MS Office, writes to pdf, basic graphics like PaintShop Pro won't work so something like Photoshop from Adobe is usually the answer.

That was a message that I could not scroll on.:bang:
