I am experiencing odd scrollbar behavior in NT.
Do you have any ideas as to why, and what I can do about the
behavior?
If you are used to Motif, Windows scrollbar
behavior will at first be a bit of an annoyance. There is not
currently a work-around for the differences one will
experience.
The good news is that most end-users are used to the behavior,
which largely consists of:
- Scrollbars "snap" to old position when mouse gets too far away
from the scrollbar. This places the user back to the position on
which the bar was first clicked.
- Scrollbars do not resize automatically to indicate length of
content. Fortunately, this behavior can be implemented by the
application programmer. In Motif, the scrollbar shrinks to
indicate longer documents; in Windows, the
scrollbar width is set by the application.
Send comments on this case to kbase@sgi.com.
