Horizontal scroll bar on Text box on main form

Post by mezentia »

Would it be possible to add a horizontal scroll bar the the Text box on the main form? Currently it is necessary to click on the blue Text control first to be able to scroll left and right to see all the text, and if necessary, adjust the column widths. I'm using V7.4.4

Yes, that is odd.
I've just checked in AS V7.3.5 and the horizontal & vertical scroll bars are present in both the Text and Note boxes.
But in AS V7.4.4 they have all vanished until you open the popup Text entry windows.

Some data entry modes have a Further Info tab with a Note box, but I'm not sure what happens there.

Is this related to the scroll bar query in this thread (at the end of the discussion)? Ancestral Sources v7.4 available to test (20653)

Yes, sorry, it is the same thing, that Nick has promised to fix in the next AS update.
