[13.0p] Dissapearing Scollbars in latest Firefox (113.0.2) in latest Release

[SimonF]

Hi there,
We have several customers complaining that scrollbars disappear in list grids and tree grids. We can reproduce this behavior on some devices in the showcases eg. in https://smartclient.com/smartclient/...dSearchBuiltin


The scrollbars are appearing for about 1-2 seconds and after that the scollbars are vanished.
THe Chrome-zoom is disabled (at 100%) and also the Windows-Zoom is standard at 100%.
Could you please take a look at this problem?

Best regards

Hi SimonF,

is this under Win11? I noticed it there as well in the 13.1d showcase (did not test 13.0p), but then this is a Windows version specific setting, I think.

Yes it is Windows 11

Hi SimonF,

OK, then I noticed the same issue (on my other computer with Win11 FF113, here I have Win10 FF113) and thought it's about 13.1d. But if it's also in 13.0p on Win11 this is not good.

Perhaps you can disable this by setting Canvas default settings or in your load_skins.js. Search the Canvas docs for "scrollbar" and see if any of the setters has an effect. floatingScrollbars perhaps? I could not enable the Win11 behavior on Win10, but perhaps you can disable the fancy new scrollbars until this is fixed.

We automatically hide scrollbars after a delay if we detect that that is what the OS / web browser also does. This is by design, and is generally desirable, as it's weird to have a web app show permanent scrollbars when other pages and apps hide them automatically.

In the particular environments being tested, do native scrollbars (not part of your SmartClient app) also automatically hide?

Note that if, for whatever reason, you prefer your scrollbars in your SmartClient app to stay visible even when this conflicts with native behavior, the setting is just Canvas.nativeAutoHideScrollbars:

Hi Isomorphic,

the problem with the (in general nice) 13.0p (v13.0p_2023-05-24) Win11 default behaviour is that the scrollbars do not reappear after they where hidden.
They only show up again on

• Mouse wheel up/down
• Pg-Up/Pg-Down
• Move mouse over scrollbar area

If you compare this to e.g. MS Teams you will notice that there the scrollbars also reappear if you just move the mouse over the Canvas in question.

In the same area are following two issues:

• Edge 113 does show the normal SmartClient-custom scrollbars, different to the floating ones in FF113
• In FF113, the lower end of the scollbar is quite few pixel away from the actual end of the scrollable area

Hi there,
Indeed it is the default state, that the scrollbars are being hidden after a time. But at this case the scrollbars doesn't reappear


The problem persists for us and we can reproduce the problem. Also our customers do have these problems and are reporting this to us.

Best Regards
