Does anyone like that the scrolling bar in the plugin manager disappears when mouse moves away?

I personally find it extremely frustrating and annoying beyond any reason that I have to “hunt” for the bar every few seconds when I’m working with the manager, especially since it’s so thin and requires a little bit of precision to grab (like everything else in Cubase)

Does anyone know what is the reasoning behind it? Is there a way it’s supposed to make the workflow better? Is it saving some prescious space for something else? Am I missing something?

A scroll wheel on your mouse? :slight_smile:

p.s. I’m only half joking. I find working without a (real or virtual) mouse wheel on a modern computer very frustrating. And when having to use a touch pad, I always enable two finger swiping as a scrolling gesture.

Doing that spares me the frustration of having to get involved in the battle with hiding scroll bars.

I find these disappearing scroll bars extremely annoying throughout Cubase. In the inspectors, there’s often not even a need for a scroll bar, but they’ve shoved one of these things in just for the hell of it.
They should stick to OS built in controls, but we’re shouting at walls.

Disappearing scroll bars is a modern UI disease, it’s not just Cubase, unfortunately. I guess they don’t teach about affordances in UI school anymore :upside_down_face:
