Linux Firefox 38 Scroll Bars change (for worse) behavior

With the update for Firefox 38, the scroll bars are are suddenly bad. The correct behavior for Linux scroll bars when you click on above view indicator (the part that you can move) is to move to the top of the screen and when you click below view indicator is to move to the bottom of the screen. When you the Middle click in an invisible box, it moves you directly to this part. And you can enter the indicator and drag it anywhere.

With 38, when you click above or below the indicator view, it now moves you directly to this part/area rather than move to the top or the bottom of the SCREEN. This is not another Linux applications - LibreOffice, claws, Pluma, Thunar, etc.. It is inconsistent and a mess of support. Worse, I searched on the preferences and about: config and I cannot find a way to put it back the way that it is supposed to work (as it did in Firefox 1 to 37 and even Netscape Navigator). What is going on?

Help! Thank you

HI crxssi,
I understand that in the linux version of Firefox, there is a difference in the way that scrolling works in version 37 and 38.

There are two places that control smooth scrolling:
Subject: #advanced under 'Général' preferences there are scroll smoothly.

There was another topic: config entry mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../981140

However if there was a change in the update, please post if there is not always an improvement.

  • Firefox 38.0.1 changed the new behavior of the page

    I have a page with all the links that I like to use; I used it for years. Each link on the page creates a new page (target = "_blank"). All of a sudden the new pages came up with nothing else that a bar of address cannot be changed... not bar menu, no search box, no toolbar. Is not the way in which the new page links have never behaved, and I want that they continue to behave in the way that they have always worked.

    I must say, I'm really tired of the development of Firefox team deciding to change the behavior of things with a requirement that I spend one or two hours or more to find what they did, why they did it and how to fix it. Y ' All seem to think that whenever you come with a wonderful idea that we're all supposed to love it and the idea that we can't are unthinkable for you.

  • the scroll bars and panels, weird behavior

    When I resize my app just scroll bars do not remain where it belongs.

    by using the scroll bars on the signs doesn't seem to work, if the content extends beyond the bottom of the Panel, the Panel offers even scroll, so I had to do with a piece of layout is inside the Panel, i.e. vbox, hbox, tilelist. the problem with this is that the Panel allows to grant under the lower part of the Panel, so that the arrow pointing down in the scroll bar is not visible, the scroll bar. It's driving me crazy.

    Ive tried to make a function run on the resizing of the application, but I can't make it work just... has anyone else had a problem with that?

    Thank you!

    Well this isn't the way I wanted, but its simple... put it all in a canvas inside the Panel, and manages scrolling very well. I could have sworn I tried that before... Well... This works.

    Edit:

    This does not work for everything... like tileLists inside a sign... but if its only text boxes and other... It should work.

  • deploy Firefox with localstore.rdf changed for all users

    Hi all
    I'm trying to deploy Firefox 24.3 ESR. I have configured the original menu of the toolbar to be without downloading and the menu bookmarks, leaving only the home button, but I can't figure out how to put the localstore.rdf changed in the files\user install profile when FF is run for the first time for this user. It maintains overwhelming. I put a copy in the \core\browser\defaults\profile installation location {source}, the installation copies to the new user profile, but when FF opens, it crushes him. I can copy in the mod file and use it then, but don't want to do this installation script, as happens in a finished format Thinapp.
    Everyone manages to force into a saved copy of localstore.rdf in a recent copy of FF
    I tried to follow this (http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/30/customizing-firefox-default-profiles/), but the onmi.ja turns out to be broken.

  • How to move several scrollbars field with a scroll bar

    Hello

    Does anyone know if there is a property node available where I can use the axis scroll bar x on a plot to control several bars scroll to the category axis at the same time?  I have three plots and I want all scroll to the time where I drag the scroll bar on one... I've been going through the nodes of property but fails to do so.

    Thank you very much!

    I think that the only way to do this is to monitor the range of the scale X, as the beginning of the beach. If the user clicks the scroll bar, changes in range if you can it detect this way. You can then set the scale on the other graphics to match.

  • Without scroll bars?

    I have created two pages which are prototypes for a web project to come n and I put these two pages for the customer to see.  They indicated that they are unable to scroll to the bottom of the page because there's no showing... scroll bar and actually if I look at the pages he has no scroll bars.  For me, this isn't a problem because I use a large screen, but for them, it's a problem.

    I didn't build this somehow differently that I used to do, and I don't know why, I would get no scroll bar if I close my browser window.  If this should not be automatic?  Can someone tell me what is the problem?

  • Scroll bar on &amp; lt; application &amp; gt;

    I have a long form that causes the scroll bar is displayed. I tried to affect the height of 2000 on the application tag. I put the < object > in a table that sets the < td = '2000' height >. Nothing helps. The application can be developed to be 1 long page with a scroll bar. I have a page static stuff around this app and I don't want the 2 scroll bars 1 for the application and another for the entire page. Help!

    A friend figured it out. I had the film to about 2000px tall. Once I put a div around it with height the value 2000, the issue of the scroll bar went away. He was then cut at the bottom of the screen. That's when it was noticed that thetag had a style {overflow: hidden}. Once who was kidnapped, all right, and the only scroll bar is the scrollbar of the browser.

  • Need help with a scroll bar.

    Hello guys. Ive has designed the following website... www.trigpointselby.com

    It's just a standard static Web site, display of information.

    My problem is on the areas of the bussiness section I created a div of ap and filled with information... the text was big for the box as he could go in, so in the css rule definition, I put "overflow" positioning in the volute of option.

    Now it works perfectly well and sounds great when you view it from any internet browser. My question is, I tried to watch it on my iphone and the scroll bar was not visible, so I could only read the part of the text and could not scroll down to read the rest like in a web browser on the pc / mac.

    So my question is does a step a way round so that if people were to see the web page on the iphones that they could used the css that I put the rule making a scroll bar visible for people to read the text. Im guessing that this will be a problem with all the mobile phones not only the iphone

    You seem to be saying that you replaced "ap div" by "layers." Surprise! They
    It's the same thing. This statement shows a lot of confusion and you offers
    have been 'stolen' try something that you do not really understand meaning
    and then try to fix it by using something else that you do not understand also.
    Not long to really mess up your code making it virtually impossible to
    Difficulty. Yuck!

    Your best bet is to stop where you are and learn more about the two CSS HTML &
    and how they interact. Then you should be able to develop a practice more
    design strategy, probably using NO positioning. (Any block element has a
    by default the static position. I estimate 99 + % of all block elements that I use have
    their default (static) position).

    I just read your stylesheet (trigpoint.css). Here is one rule in this
    style sheet that uses absolute positioning (AP):
    {#menubar}
    position: absolute;
    Width: 800px;
    height: 42px;
    z index: 4;
    left: 0px;
    top: 129px;
    } There is more than 19.
    NOTE: Everything between {and} is called the "declaration block". Each
    a part of the declaration block (for example "position: absolute;") is called a
    Statement. Where my formulation, "20 of the CSS rules using the" position: absolute "
    statements. "

    Here's the good news: the issue of using or not using layers (divs PA (or)
    other PA block elements)) is requested here every week at least. There is a wealth
    the info if you search this newsgroup/forum:
    http://groups.Google.com/advanced_search?q=+group:Macromedia.Dreamweaver

    One of my favorite CSS Reference: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css

    Part of what you learn is that there is a gulf between that of simple.
    dimension of the Web sites, you can build without understanding HTML & CSS and the
    site more complex than you probably want to build.

  • horizontal scroll bar

    I am trying to create a scroll bar horitizontal for my site like this site: http://www.obesityandspeed.com/ I tried to steal the script but it is not working properly. I tried several sites of scripts and I see only see sliders or scripts in the vertical and horizontal scrolls together... I don't want a vertical scrolling only. Can anyone post a script or point me to a site where I can download this type of script?

    Thank you all!

    Sorry I would like to clarify. If you go to the section of the Web site of the collection, you will clearly see the type of horizontal scrollbar, I want, I'm looking:

    http://www.obesityandspeed.com/Collections.htm

    I want to be able to use the images as well as text.

    If you mean like on the shop link - they use an IFrame
    Code:

    height = "445" scrolling = "Auto" frameborder = "0" > you will need to upgrade your
    browser to view this page

    Google "Iframe" and you will find a bunch of tutorials on how it's done.

  • How to get the horizontal scroll bar of a Table?

    Hi all

    According to my requirement, I display multiple records in a form in a tabular Format. But here I must show 21 columns in this table that is too high. I am able to view it, but because it I get a scroll bar horizontal to the screen as all columns not in the normal window screen space. But its weird since the research once I am to right scrolling columns, but bar header and Global buttons above are not displayed, they are related to the normal screen space.

    Is it possible to have a horizontal scroll bar only for this table instead of the whole screen so that on the slider, only the rows in the table will be beshifted ant had displayed?

    With our thanks
    Gerber

    try this approach.
    include an element of plain text before and an array element.
    include HTML tags in the raw text element to allow horizontal scrolling
