Hi @eirannejad , Congrats on the progress of the Rhino 8 Grasshopper Script Editor. It looks a lot sharper than last time I had a go. That said, I do find there are design issues where the current GHPython editor shines brighter. Notably: 1: Wasted Screen Space + Visually Busy/Cluttered With the sa…

[image] Brian Gillespie: RH-78080 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 15 Hi @brian / @eirannejad , just a note that this issue persists in 8.16.25034.21001. See this post above.

Thanks, I reopened the issue for Ehsan.

Hi @eirannejad , I just updated to Version 8 SR17 (8.17.25056.13001). If I open a side window such as Explorer or Search & Replace, the scroll bar in the text editor disappears. I have to close Rhino and reopen it to get the scroll bar back.

The vertical or horizontal scroll bar? Windows on macOS? :thinking:

Pushed a fix for this in 8.18 however it is a bit incomplete. The problem is Monaco, the editor control that we use in the new ScriptEditor does not have a font style setting.

[image] Ehsan Iran-Nejad: The vertical or horizontal scroll bar? Windows on macOS? :thinking: I am using Rhino 8 on Windows. Both scroll bars disappear. They even disappear, if I resize the main window of the Script Editor.

@daniel.kowollik Hmm I can not replicate this. They fade-out when mouse is not over the editor but that’s expected. [Rhino_cy3RjrIZj8] @Alain Any clues to what might cause hiding the scrollbars when the editor size changes?

[image] Ehsan Iran-Nejad: s to what might cause hiding the scrollbars when the editor size changes? I am still using Windows 10. It happens with system dark and light theme and it happens in Grasshopper and in Rhino.

I can’t reproduce this on a Windows 10 computer. Do you have a screencast? Just in case it could reveal a subtle clue?
