Card layout: Missing scroll bar while editing the form

    Asked on October 28, 2021 at 12:18 AM

    Hi, my forms are really long, and when I am building them and testing things like conditional logic, it gets really tiring scrolling through from the top of the form in Form Builder every time I stop the preview, to get to the point in the form that i need to edit. There is a button for taking me back to the top which is helpful. Having another button to take me to the bottom would also be nice, but even more helpful would be a scroll bar to quickly get me to where I want to go.

    It would also be nice if it took me back to the part of the form in Form Builder that I was working on when I turn off 'preview form' and return to work on my form again.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting us, there is a scrollbar on the right of the form builder that you can use to scroll over the form, also you can use the page up/down and home/end keys on your keyboard to make scrolling through the form faster.

    Please let us know if you require any further information or assistance.

    Have an amazing day.

    Thanks for the pg up/down home/end tips. Home and End worked for me but I tried Pg up/dn in both firefox and chrome and it didn't work for me in either.

    I usually use firefox 93.0

    I tried in Google Chrome and a scroll bar appeared briefly but then disappeared again. HOWEVER, I was still able to scroll with the INVISIBLE scroll bar along the righthand side.

    So then I tried again in Firefox and found that it also has an INVISIBLE scroll bar. Here is a screenshot showing the invisible scroll bar:

    The unfortunate thing is, with an invisible scroll bar you don't actually know where the bit is to click and drag if you want to do it that way.

    I could make a video too to show the problem if that is needed.

    I just did some more experimenting and it seems that it's because of the background image. If i remove the background image all of a sudden I can see the scroll bar again. But if I use any of the background options (video, color, custom image, image theme) the scroll bar disappears again.


    I also noticed the disappearing scroll bar in Edge.

    Hi, i've noticed that the "return to top" icon at the bottom is also hidden under the background graphic now.

    Hello there,

    The color of the 'return to top' icon hasn't changed. It just happens that the default color somehow blends with your form's background.
