Lannoy Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The tabs pane within the paragraphs panel shows 9 available tabs. The present job I'm working on has a 12 tab requirement. How can I see more tabs, eg. extend the tab stops panel? (pic attached) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. One comment: This would probably be better in the desktop questions forum, rather than the Publisher Beta forum which is more intended for discussion of new functions already added to the beta, or of issues caused by the beta. For your question: I have no trouble adding 12 tabs via that panel, at least using the 1.9 beta on Windows. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That section of the panel has a max height and without a scroll bar you just cannot see the additional tabs. Does resizing the panel or dragging it away from the other panels (so it is floating on its own) re-enable the scrollbar?

Yes, I can easily add more tabs but, as the panel doesn't grow exponentially, I can't see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fde101 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I have a scroll bar for that... and the scroll wheel works in a "blank" part of the scrollable area. Before jumping through the hoops of resetting everything you might want to check to see if you have "Show Scroll Bars" set to "Always" in the "General" section of "System Preferences" as they do disappear for me if that is set to the other options.

PaulEC Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If all else fails, you could show the Text Ruler (View Menu) and add tabs manually to that. Maybe not ideal, but at least a work around to get the job done.

Lannoy Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 SOLVED! After resetting a few bits and bobs I now have the scroll bars! Thanks to all and, doubtless, I’ll be back with more queries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great - any idea what reset exactly made it work? "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
