Upper horizontal scrollbar of the Workboard pages acting funny in Internet Explorer
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

I see one definite issue of horizontally scrolling the Workboard pages on Internet Explorer 11. One is clicking the top upper horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of a Workboard page, like this one and that one

When using the Internet Explorer, the sequences occur:

  1. I move the (mouse) cursor down to the bottom of a Workboard page
  2. I click the top upper horizontal scrollbar. No double-clicking or anything like that. Just a simple one-click action.
    1. Alternatively, I single-click either the left or right arrow of the top upper horizontal scrollbar
  3. When I move the cursor to either the left or right, the page moves to the opposite direction.
    1. When I move to the left, the page goes right.
    2. When I move to the right, the page goes left.
  4. In other words, the page automatically moves in either opposite horizontal direction after I click the scroll and whenever I move the cursor around.
  5. To stop the cursor from automatically moving the page, I click one of open areas, like either the open white area within a Workboard page or the left panel menu.
    1. Alternatively, I can click one of the task boxes. If I click a task link, I simply go to a task page.

In summary, on Internet Explorer, the top upper horizontal scrollbar has technical issues, and using a scroll wheel to move a Workboard page is less than convenient. I can create a video of the sequences for a better picture and then upload it to YouTube if visual demonstration and better clarity needed.

I can explain different experiences on scrolling a Workboard page with other browsers, like Chrome, at other tasks as this is very long to explain.

If you see some "upper horizontal scrollbar", is there also a lower horizontal scrollbar?
Because I only see one horizontal scrollbar in Firefox. Maybe a screenshot would help...

Here's the screenshot below from the Phabricator Workboard page at IE11 on Windows 7.

I have no idea why IE renders two scrollbars. I don't think this is anything that should be worked around in Phabricator code.

What is your zoom level in the browser?

https://secure.phabricator.com/T10878 in upstream might be related?

The IE is set to 100% especially as seen in the screenshot. My monitor's current screen resolution is 1680 x 1050.

@gh87: Fire years later, is this "second horizontal scrollbar" on workboards still something that you experience when using Edge? (In case that you have moved on from Internet Explorer to Edge.)

This task is IE-related, and IE is no longer supported. You can close this as invalid. Oh, and I don't have an Edge in my computer.

Thanks for the additional info. I'm going to decline this task.
