Matrix and Scroll Bars

The Scroll Bar settings for a matrix can cause columns to completely disappear.

Below, the right column is missing in spite of adequate space


Now I’ve lost the left

Notice that at one point my shading behind columns has also vanished. And I never see the alternating background colors.

And here I get them all

If you want to send me an example database that I can experiment with, I will add it to the bug report database. I’m definitely not going to spend the time to build up an example like this hoping I’ll be able to duplicate your results.

I believe we are unable to send attachments here so please check you regular email.

FWIW, this problem persists in B28

Let me correct that for you – it still works as documented in b28.

The key step you are missing is to set the Elasticity to None. Then it works. Here’s the file you sent me with the correction.

You probably also want to make a Matrix Header so that the header will also scroll.

Notice that at one point my shading behind columns has also vanished. And I never see the alternating background colors.

As you can see I sort of fixed that, which I did by reducing the opacity of the shading rectangle to 30%. That’s as good as it can get.

Thanks, that’s info I lacked about the cure.

I had to look it up myself, not something I remembered off the top of my head.
