How to get a horizontal scrollbar if a form becomes too narrow [message #1589530] Wed, 28 January 2015 08:57 Go to next message

We are using a Form in a View in an SWT client. It is configuraed as "scrollable" and has a GridCount of 9.

When we resize the view/window vertically, a vertical scrollbar appears when not all elements can be shown anymore.

However, when resizing the window horizontally, the form fields just shrink until they disappear (leaving behind only the labels) but a horizontal scrollbar only appears once they have totally disappeared (and in some cases never appears).

Do we need to configure something to get the desired behaviour or is this a bug?

This is the window in its widest representation:
index.php/fa/20640/0/

This is the window made narrower but still big enough to show all fields:
index.php/fa/20641/0/

This is the window made narrower, clipping most input fields, not showing a scrollbar:
index.php/fa/20642/0/

This is the window so narrow that all fields have disappeared and now it even shows a scrollbar, but the fields are still missing:
index.php/fa/20643/0/
