Editor scrollbars
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2020 1:10 am
This is a minor visual glitch, but quite confusing: the editor scrollbars in ZExpression editor are sometimes not drawn correctly.
For example, this ZExpression has 50 lines of code but the vertical scrollbar is not drawn at all (making it look like there is no code below the visible part) while the horizontal scrollbar suggests there is some code extending out of the visible area (which is not the case).
So in this particular case it took quite some time before I clicked in the actual ZExpression (by mistake basically), which activated the vertical slider and made me realize "Oh wait, there is some code below!"… The reason why it is so confusing is because the horizontal slider is in a way "working", vaguely suggesting the "is code extending out of the area" system is kind of active, but it isn't.
