Can’t figure out how to solve this problem:
When I use the Layout selection drop-down it will not scroll down far enough to make all my layouts accessible. When I scroll the list down I have several at the end of the list that show only for a brief moment before falling back out of sight.
Has anyone else encountered this?
I wish I could get a screen capture of the problem but I can’t, the dropdown disappears when I try Snagit and the resolution is too low if I use Windows Print Screen.
This has been reported before. I’m not sure there’s a solution at the moment, other than to use the key commands to cycle through layouts or the selection options when opening a new tab to access the rest of your layouts. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Thanks Lillie for the prompt reply.
It’s not obvious from looking at the menu, but you should find you can click and drag it (imagine it’s a list on your phone screen you’re scrolling with your finger), and bring further layouts into view that way.
Great, I’ll try that, Daniel.
When I was using the scroll bar it would indeed initially reveal the last layouts in the list, but it would scroll back up before I could select any of them. If your suggestion overcomes that it will solve the problem.
edited to add:
Daniel, scrolling directly on the list with the mouse ends up with the same problem. You can indeed see the bottom of the list, but the moment you let go of the left mouse button to actually select one of them it scrolls back up some, making it impossible to select what it had momentarily exposed to view.
Lillie, I found that both the tab method and the key command do indeed serve as workarounds.
Hopefully at some point the main dropdown will behave like the one from tab-opening.
Sorry, to reopen this thread, but it seems to me the problem, though having been solved before, has come back.
My list of layouts is exactly 1 layout longer than would fit on the screen, and I cannot scroll down far enough to select the last layout (in fact, the list does not scroll at all):
There should be one more entry below “Perkussion 2”.
Using the last Dorico 5.1.70.2200 on Windows 11.
My advice in the third post in this thread still stands:
Please… PLEASE don’t to this on desktop software… Lists are meant to be scrolled, that’s why I have a mouse with a wheel.
Two more observations:
Your trick does not work because the list immediately pops back down after releasing the mouse button, hiding the entry again. (This was also already mentioned by the last poster before I resurrected the thread, so I guess your advice is less “still standing” and more “still being not helpful”.)
On this very project the list is positioned directly unter the layout selection:
On another project with even more entries, the list is positioned next to it:
If the menu in the first project was as large as the menu in the second project, I would be able to see all layouts.
I know that this is not ideal in its current form. It’s a consequence of using the more modern UI framework provided by Qt, which is (despite its relative maturity) still more focused on touch-enabled devices than on desktop systems with pointing devices. We will sooner or later rework this control. I’m sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
Thanks for your reply.
I was just puzzled because I though this problem had already been fixed in the meantime 
I realised that these layouts can be accessed if the Dorico window is not maximized.
