1. Open the customization dialogue.

2. Go to the Commands tab.

3. Choose a category that has enough commands to require scrolling. For example, choose All Commands.

4. Dragging the scrollbar or clicking on the up/down icons of the scrollbar produces undesirable behavior (continuous scrolling). It is difficult to make a selection.

I am using 103 portable.

Hi Jon,

It works fine here, perhaps it is related to a mouse setting...

Sadly no. However, I have left work for the day and shut down my computer. Perhaps it will be fine tomorrow on startup. I'll let you know.

Started my computer and tried it again. It does exactly as I described. No change.

Try this. Go to All Commands. Click on the middle or lower portion of the scroll bar and leave the cursor in that position. On my computer, the display continuously scrolls down instead of going to the next page.

it scrolls down until the scrollbar reaches where the mouse arrow is.

I know this is not how other apps normally work, yet it seems fairly logical to me.

Saying that, it's not a way I'd normally scroll, so my opinion is not so important here.

Likewise, if one clicks on the down button below the scrollbar, *and leaves the mouse over the button* it does a continuous scroll.

Not to me. I think the behavior should be consistent with standards.

Even if you don't share my opinion, thank you for confirming my observation Tom.

I guess it falls on Pierre to decide.

If only I could reproduce it...

That UI comes from a framework I use (by Codejock), so I doubt there is anything I can do, other than upgrade to a more recent version.

Unless you can confirm that previous versions did not have this issue...

Pierre:

Because I do not have the time to pinpoint when this started, I randomly tried version 77. I confirm that earlier versions do not display the described behavior and act normally.

Re-reading my post. It does not seem clear enough. Version 103 has the unwanted auto-scrolling behavior. Version 77 does not..

It's reproducible here on two machines -

both Win 7 x64

with portable IQ versions:

103

100

my only earlier version on this machine is out of beta and doesnt allow me to do this.

Just in case:

click where mouse arrow is - without moving the mouse -

the scrollbar will move a little, make a slight pause, and then scroll at speed down as far as where the mouse is.

Likewise if one clicks on the down arrow below scrollbar

Pierre, are you planning to address this? It is still present in 104D. As I wrote. this behavior is absent from version 77 and is (to my thinking) not consistent with standard Windows behavior. Nor is it desirable - again, for me.

Hi Jon,

I looked into this and it is linked to a Windows setting "Smooth-scroll list boxes". If turned off, it scroll normal and this is why I had great difficulty reproducing it

I tested down to version 75 and they all exhibit that, so it is a long standing issue. That said, I should be able to fix it, perhaps not in v105 however...

To turn off smooth scrolling, open the Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Visual Effects

Workaround until it gets fixed: select one of the tools in the list (you don't have to do anything with it). Scrolling then works correctly.

At least I haven't had it misbehave after that (hard to be sure because the problem itself doesn't occur every time).

Wayne

Thank you Wayne.

Pierre:

That is a puzzle because version 75 is fine on the same computer having the problem with 104. Thank you for looking into this.
