Beta5Bug - Scene Tree Horizontal Scroll Bar disappears
by Steve · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/31/2009 (4:14 pm) · 4 replies
Steps to replicate:
1. start with scene tree at default size
2. have only the the top level folder open Sim groups -- mission group
3. make scene tree larger in the horizontal (left to right) direction
4. expand another folder
5. horizontal scroll bar vanishes
6. restore scene tree to default size, scroll bar does not reappear
7. un-expand the folder, scroll bar reappears
This does not seem like it should be this way. I do not see why the behavior of the scroll bar is dependent on whether folders are expanded or not. Personally, I find it to be a constant nuisance.

Thanks for the info. I do believe, however, that the scroll bar for some reason is sometimes off when it should be on. Perhaps it is user error, but I don't think so. I think if you try the above 7 steps you would see what I mean, but still, perhaps that's the way it's meant to be. I'll change the scroll bar in guiscrollctrl if I can find it, thanks for that.

Hmmm, seems to work as expected for me... maybe you're using a smaller resolution that the GUI controls don't account for?

Grrrr. Well, is there any way you can tell me where to change it to "always on" ? I looked for it, but couldn't find it.

Info set on it when created : for example...
Not really a bug; but an intended feature. Having the scrollbars always there would be useless(no where to scroll to), having the scrolls always be off would be harmful(can't see information when it is rendered in the scroll control).
