Weird scroll behaviour in Options > Aliases

I’ve observed some weird scroll behaviour in the Aliases menu which furthers the impression that—no disrespect intended—Rhino’s UI still has some catching up to do. System info is at the bottom.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable smooth scrolling
  • Type systempropertiesadvanced in the Start menu
  • Go to Advanced
  • Go to the settings under Performance
  • Check the box for Smooth-scroll list boxes
  1. Visit Options > Aliases in Rhino

  2. Try scrolling… it doesn’t feel responsive in Rhino 7:

  3. Similar feeling in Rhino 8:

I love what the software can do; I just wish it looked better while doing it. (That said, if utility comes at the cost of appearance, I’ll take utility all day everyday)

I’ve reported this recently - fixing it is listed as “future”. That’s fine, I would prefer more important stuff be fixed first.

Sorry to offtop, but how do i properly report a bug? via new topic here? where to track its status?

Here is good. Someone from McNeel will analyze it and if it needs to be put on the bug list (YouTrack), in general they will do that and post the link to the item here so you can track it.
