Why is it that you can’t scroll all the way down the layers list when in the object properties Tab ?
I am forced in creating sub-layers to shorten the list, or fiddle with the UI, which is just a PITA.
And sometimes, for no reason, the elevator doesn’t even show up.

Hi Wim,
Thanks, but also : what’s with the elevator lunacy ?
Hi Olivier -
Good question. I haven’t seen that here, though. As you noted, it only happens sometimes. It’d be good to find out more about that. When it happens, does it then consistently do that or does it go back to showing the scrollbar when you try again?

Ha ! Maybe that’s because you code Rhino on the same computers that you try to debug it with.
Lots of nasty things happen when you change the Windows version, screen resolutions, …
Plus one report on this issue, ran into it yesterday, first time I’ve had a file open in R8 with enough layers to need a scroll bar.
Cheers

Also that layer dialogue doesn’t even try to fit itself onto the screen? Just runs off the edge…
I’m just at lunch, when I get back to my desk I’ll check the file again and report. My R8 updated itself this morning, that may have changed things.

Ok - I can confirm that the layer PANEL is working OK for me:
However the layer menu in the bottom bar is limited in what it will display/can’t be scrolled:
Just a little bit of pain point - please see what can be done, THANKS!

Hi Wim,
Please test this on another system.
Perhaps one with a wide screen.
This is really crippling…
Meh ! Never mind, I decided to make my layer and properties panels separate, so I don’t have to wait for you to debug your shitty interface.
@osuire - This issue has been fixed. Let me know if you’d like to test.

Hi Olivier -
FWIW, I see this on my Mac.

With the fix of RH-84544, I can at least use the mouse scroll wheel to get to the bottom of that list.

I’m on the latest build (Version 8 SR13
(8.13.24311.3001, 2024-11-06), and it is still not working as it had been for the past 3 decades.
I’m really amazed that such a basic software feature can get broken… Is there a monkey loose in the office or what ?
Hi Olivier -
RH-84544 was fixed in 8.14, hence Dale’s offer to let you test a version that has the fix.
-wim
Well
OK, will you please send me the version that fixes the bug ?
@osuire - yes, of course.
