Seneca Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 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). 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 And some panels, such as the Text Frame panel, do not allow scrolling at all, if the available screen space does not suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri_G Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 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.

Bri_G Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 @A_B_C thanks for the feedback, will check this out tomorrow. Looks promising, think I need to check out all configuration options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri_G Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 @A_B_C - thanks for the info, setup preferences to always see the scrollbar. I find that much better for general use. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Bri_G Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 @R C-R - I agree with you, I think a more flexible approach of 'provide it where it's needed' is much better. I found the vertical sliders in Finder painfull but the horizontal one great. Probably just switch it on when using Publisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gewise Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr.schmitz Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
