Title: Scroll bar Jumping
Post by: TonyJoey on July 05, 2010, 10:00:34 PM
Would like the scroll bar fixed, if possible, on the radio bar, and on this forum.

*For the in-game radio bar - When you try to scroll down, the bar resets to the top everytime someone else enters the room/channel. Would be nice if it stayed put, so you could read who all is in the room.

*For the forum - When typing a message larger than the box, after every typed letter/space input, the scroll bar resets to the top, so you have to stop writing to scroll down and check what you have written. Would be nice again if it stayed in place so you could see your writing as you typed.

That's a problem with your web browser. If you're using IE7 or 8 you need to add these forums to the "compatibility view" setting. It's under tools, compatibility view.

Gotta luv Microsoft for having a web browser that allows sites to get away with sloppy web programming and design to begin with...and luv 'em even more for changing things so that same sloppiness now causes strange behavior.

Emphasis.   :D

Correct me if I'm wrong (again).

Someone asks HTC to correct a problem with a jumping scroll bar.

You point out it's not HTC, it's their browser, it their computer, in their house, that is the problem and how to correct it.

Someone else asks HTC to correct a problem with a jumping scroll bar caused by Microsoft's browser.

I don't see how HTC can fix a problem with Microsoft's browser.  And, you have already explained how the person posting can fix it themselves.

Just pointing out the obvious.

You can scroll down on the in-game radio?????

wrongway, I believe the +1 was for the in-game radio which I don't believe would be influenced by Internet Explorer bug. I could be wrong though.

TJ you don't have to change browsers just set your IE to view forums in compatibility view following the quoted instructions.

As far as the radio is concerned though, I did not know you could scroll through the chatter.

You can't. What I'm talking about is the list of everyone who is in channel/range. Called it 'radio bar' for lack of a better word.

Ah hah I see. I never really noticed that but i still can't see how that would be affected by the web browser.

The radio roster box isn't affected by the browser.  It appears to auto-refresh anytime a player enters or leaves the roster for that radio freq (like range).  If there are lots of names to display, as you scroll through the list to see who's on, it will snap back to the top when the list updates.  Perhaps adding a refresh button like the arena roster has would be a good idea.

Yep dkff49, you point out a classic example of people that either quote more of a message than they need to set up their answer, or just aren't clear enough about what they are actually responding to.  ;)

+1 to fix the auto-refreshing radio roster list.   :aok
Send carefully crafted email to MSft to let them know how much we all appreciate the many way they've buggered our Internet experience.   :noid

Yes, I think a radio roster box refresher would be the best option, much like the refresh button for the normal roster. Can you imagine trying to scroll down the regular roster if it auto-updated?

Or you could stop hanging out with the hordes.

 I know that wasn't directed at me.  I hate hordes - flying with them, and flying against them.

Oki doki.  Never seen it do that.

I support the "stop hanging out with the hordes" solution.

Not always range hordes- I've flown with other squads before where the number on channel exceeds the space.

Umm, no. Also effects scenarios where flights/squads sometimes may exceed the page.

This just made a light bulb pop on over my head.

Is the radio bar jumping because when someone keys up it highlights their name on the bar?  The bar is jumping down to their highlighted name?

It doesn't jump when there are fewer names than space does it?  IE: you can see everyone in the radio bar at the same time?

Maybe that's why it's jumping back and forth.

I think maybe I have seen this before in a scenario and that's why I was reminded of it.

Nope, it seems to be when someone needs to be added or removed from the list as you're viewing it.  Same thing happens in the mission list, which annoys the crap outta me during FSO when I'm trying to find our squad's mission.
