Column scroll bar visbility

ZachBodenner — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 17:48:35 GMT

Hello,

When there's enough content in a column widget to enable scrolling, the scroll bar appears on the right side of the column. However, the bar is only there when you hover over the column, and it seems like it "shrinks" the overall dimensions of the column such that the contents shift in reference to the scroll bar.

Not hovering:

vs. when you hover:

It's a very slight adjustment and ultimately not a huge deal, but it makes the whole column seem to twitch when someone hovers over the column contents. Is there any way to make the scroll bar permanently visible?

Dev edition 1.13, accessing AGOL data.

It's also beter for mobile device users. If the scroll-bar is always visible they know that they can scroll down.

I found this in another post that might be of use:

"Since I ended up here, I want to share for anyone that reaches the frustration I did.

The collum height was set to auto, which was allowing it to believe it was showing everything (and didn't need to give me a scrollbar), but it was extending past the bottom of the fixed (non-scrolling) page.

Setting the collum height to custom -100% shrank the collum down the size of the container it is in, and I got the scroll bar back, and can see everything I put in the collum on all display sizes"
