SPFoxhole Blog

Since migrating my site from 2007 to 2010 I have received a few inquiries as to shy the vertical scrolling bar seems to just disappear. This is obviously a bug but where does it stem? Still undecided.

While viewing the blog page in IE8 you will notice that you can see the direct page but cant move downwards or upwards. A simple way around this is by reducing the size of the page from anything but Full Screen view and presto the vert scrolling appears. Resizing to Full Screen will show the vertical scrolling as well at this point but after a few min or a F5 you will lose it again.

I decided to test this before dismissing SP2010 as having the problem by loading up the page on FireFox where the problem would not manifest. Further testing to dismiss the single blog template from being an issue, I created a simple site and started adding visio diagrams, CEWPs (holding gibberish) Doc Libraries… anything I could use to fill up the page and cause one to scroll. Problem would not manifest in either FireFox or IE8.

So is it the page template? Or is it the browser. Having experienced numerous IE crashes through the years I would be more than happy to point a finger at this being the problem but in light of my second test there could be more behind the scenes happening.

In either cast the Product team is aware of this and to be honest its pretty simple (yet annoying at times) to overcome the issue. Thanks to all those that informed me of this problem J
