Scrolling


Recommended Posts

I've just noticed that you can actually scroll above the first page to negative infinity and beyond the last page to positive infinity (meaning way too far).

Picking up on scrolling, an aside from @Seneca point, Is there any way to scroll the central section of the app I.e. where the actual page is displayed? 

A horizontal scroll bar would be useful to move this section if the side panels obscure part of the pages.

Bri_G, scrollbar visibility depends on your general settings in the macOS Preferences. If you select to always display scrollbars or depending on trackpad or mouse use there, you will see a horizontal scrollbar too. And you can always scroll horizontally with Shift + Mouse Wheel:)

So do I.

I am not a big fan of Apple's systematic overuse of 'hide it until you need it' & 'show it only if you roll over it' UI decluttering methods. I get that this is important on small-screen iOS devices, but it breaks one of the traditional user friendliness design principles that in the old days Apple itself help establish, that being that the function of everything in the UI should be as obvious & self-explanatory as possible.

That is a bit hard to do when an ever increasing number of things in the UI are not even normally visible! :S

Picking up on scrolling topic again, with the focus on speed, scrolling through the pages pannel goes always with the same speed, no matter the numbers of pages. In a document with many pages, regular mouse scrolling becomes unusefull and you switch to drag the scrollbar. In inDesign you can zoom in and in the pages pannel to change between distant pages faster.

It is not a big thing, but for usability it would be nice to have an option to adjust the scrolling speed related to the page number or to implement the option to zoom in and out the pages pannel as in inDesign.

Or am I missing something?

There is another scrolling issue, which I have not yet found in other threads. The page zoom sometimes changes (pages zoom out) when scrolling through a document. I am using a 2-button mouse with scroll-wheel, which acts also as the third button. This never happened (so far), when using the trackpad for scrolling.

Cheers,
Chris
