As most of you will know, the scroll blob is proportional the smaller it is, the larger the document you’re viewing, and vice versa. It can also be used to scroll through documents, by clicking and dragging it up and down (or left and right for horizontal scrollbars).īefore we dive into the problem I mentioned, there’s actually quite a few interesting things to say about scrollbars and the scroll blob. In case you’re unfamiliar with my personal graphical user interface lingo, the scroll blob is that little thing inside your scrollbar which indicates where in a document you are. It took me a while to figure out, but I finally know when this behaviour occurs – now I just need to know: why?!
When scrolling via dragging the scroll blob, it seemed as if Windows had the annoying habit of randomly resetting your scroll blob to its starting position, which irritated me to no end. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been having issues with scrolling in Windows and its applications.
