LaTex Code-View: Issue with Scrolling

[Quaid]

When I right-click on a lengthy LaTex expression (to view the code in a pop-up window), the code-display bleeds off the right margin of the window.

There is a horizontal scroll bar, which used to work for me, but now it's dead.

Does anybody else experience this issue?

Here's an example, for you to try.

\(\displaystyle x^345 + x^344 + x^343 + x^342 + x^341 + x^340 + x^339 + x^338 + x^337 + x^336 + x^335 + x^334 + x^332 + x^331 + x^330 + x^329\)

Okay, I'm currently on a friend's laptop, using Windoze 8 and IE10. Just like on my computer, the scroll-bar issue does not happen with pop-up windows in Internet Explorer (only Chrome). But, when I try to compose a post on my laptop, using IE11, every third or fourth keystroke does not work; currently, on the friend's laptop using IE10, it appears that only the enter key is not working. (That's why this post is a single paragraph, arggg.) Neither my friend nor I have experienced locked-up scroll bars or keys that stop working, while at other sites on the Internet.

So, this is a known, on-going bug in the current version of Chrome. See: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57...d-at-google-for-switching-up-scroll-controls/

The tiny scroll bars are quite annoying, especially when they don't work!

Hi Ted! Always nice to see you around the office ...

I checked out that info link, but I'm not sure they're talking about the same issue.

I only experienced dead scroll bars in pop-up windows (PMs, LaTex code-views, etc).

Anyway, I just re-tested in a pop-up window, and all scroll bars are working again in Chrome (as they were, before a few days ago).

Your tinkering on those other issues may have purged something corrupt or whatnot.


Note to Chrome Users: If this issue returns, there's a workaround. Use the arrow keys, for horizontal and vertical scrolling.

Cheers
