This is hopefully pretty straight forward, but after an hour of searching online, I couldn't find anyone else complaining about this issue. Perhaps I just haven't found the right wording to describe it.
My company recently switched to Excel 2016, and I HATE the way the scrollbars work. If you drag the scrollbar with the mouse, your current view freezes in place until you 'drop' the scrollbar. Then the screen suddenly jumps to this part of the spreadsheet. It used to actively display the spreadsheet as you dragged the scrollbar around, so you could see everything as you moved around.
I constantly work with enormous spreadsheets where I need to find specific sections quickly, and now that the scrollbar has become useless, it takes me much longer to navigate.
I understand you can use the arrow keys, or different shortcuts to jump through a spreadsheet, but I found the scrollbar very useful when moving through very large files. I can't be the only person who wants this functionality turned back on, but I can't find any information on it, or any settings I can switch.
This fix works for me. In Win 10 open Control Panel. Navigate to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Centre\Make the computer easier to see. Near the bottom in the section "Make things on the screen easier to see" is a tick-box: "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)". This was ticked for me by default so I unticked it and clicked the Apply button after which the scroll bar in Excel started to work as it does in Win 7, i.e. the cells in the background move as you drag the scrollbar left/right and up/down. Perfect.

The hot desks in my company, have these mice that 50% of the time I scroll the wheel it produces a middle button click. In linux this is a paste. So when I'm scrolling up and down some source code in QtCreator I tend to unintentionally paste around pieces of text. Even if I'm painfully aware of this effect it still happens and it's driving me crazy. I was able to disconnect the middle button paste in VSCode by changing a setting editor.selectionClipboard. I'm trying to find similar setting in QtCreator but I can't. Is there any way to achieve this in QtCreator?
I don't want to disable this middle button system wide as this feature is very useful to paste pieces of code/text in the terminal, where I don't wheel scroll as much as in a source code editor.
Something has gone terribly wrong with my VBE layout. I originally closed my Project explorer and was trying to figure out how to restore it when I made some changes under the window tab of the ribbon.
I've restored the Project explorer but I can't for the life of me reset my code window to display only the current module I'm working on. The resulting layout is hideous, truly atrocious, and difficult to work with.
disgusting VBE display
I've already tried resetting my registry key for VBA as recommended here to no avail. I believe I clicked on either Cascade or Tile Vertically to make the code block appear this way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You've never hit 'Restore Down' before on the Windows controls? Click it again (it will now be called Maximise) to put things right.
Click the square box of any of the windows in the upper right corner for it to fill the window, and then you can navigate using the project folder structure to the left, or the Window menu at top. Windows can be dragged and "docked" at different positions. For step by step instructions on how to dock windows in the VBE, including video see this site, for example
Try setting the code windows in your layout to how you like them. Then add a module to your project, then exit Access. It seems to save the layout at that point.
You can then delete the empty module.
Our Company recently upgraded to Office 2013 since we want to use SharePoint 2013.
We had several issues with the new Office Version but Microsoft has already solved some of them.
Anyways, one thing sitll grinds my gears:
Excel or Word sometimes starts invisible. It is visible in the Taskbar but the window doesnt pop up. I can click on the Icon in the taskbar but it doesn't change anything. The only way i figured out to show the window, is to use [Windows] + [Arrow Keys].
I can't tell the constellation why this is happening but most of the time it is if there isn't already another instance of the program running.
I don't have Office 2013 at home to reconstruct this but I have seen this on different Computers at our Office.
Now does anybody know about this issue?
What can I do about it?
Is it known to Microsoft?
Any help is appreciated.
I don't think that it's invisible, it's just starting off screen somewhere. Perhaps on a second monitor that is no longer there (or moved virtually to the other side). The [Windows] + [Arrows Keys] just moves the window onscreen where you can see it.
Alternatively, you could hover the mouse over the icon on the task bar, right click on the preview window and then select Move (if Move is grayed out, select restore and repeat). Then, hit any [Arrow Key] (this will attach your mouse to the window caption bar) then move your mouse (without clicking anything) until the window shows up on screen.
By doing this you can figure out what side of the screen the application is opening up (not that knowing helps much). Excel should just show up where ever you had it last, but it will not remember it's location if you snap it to the sides or top of the screen (which is what you were doing); It will only remember the Normal View size and position of the window.
My workaround for this bug is to click the Taskbar icon for the new (invisible) window while it's active, which minimizes the window, then click it again to restore it. Then it becomes visible.
I have the same issue, and it's definitely an invisible window, not off-screen (see workaround below).
It only happens in specific circumstances: when opening a second word doc from a sharepoint/office 365 location, the second doc gets a taskbar icon, but no visible content, so the first doc is still visible (but the second doc is invisibly in front of it).
The workaround is to click the minimise button on the first doc. Nothing will appear to happen because it's the invisible second doc window that receives the click event. Then select the icon on the task bar to make it reappear, properly visible.
This is the popup I mean:
It happens to obscure the indicator margin for a couple of lines, making it impossible to drag the current statement indicator to those lines.
The "Debugging" toolbar has a button called "Show threads in source":
Turn it off to disable this pop-up, along with the messy-looking graphic underneath the current statement indicator:
(took me far too long to find this, and Googling didn't help, hence this answer... it doesn't help that this button cannot be found by searching for "thread"in the otherwise excellent Quick Launch search box)
I am writing a MonoTouch iOS app. I have read many postings about ResignFirstResponder and I am using that.
My app is a typical table view app. I have done my own custom table cell view. The UITextField controls that cause the numeric keypad to come up in the first place are all on the custom table cell.
Currently I have it so that if you tap on the background of the cell I call ResignFirstResponder on all the text fields. This seems to work, but is not intuitive. I had a new beta tester get it last night and he tapped on one of the text fields and the keypad came up and he was lost as to how to get rid of it. After I told him to just tap the background, he now is fine, but obviously I want a solution that is obvious and doesn't require me to tell everyone how it works.
I read one post about a way to add a DONE button to the keypad, but it looked like a total hack and even broke when 3.2.1 came out and I don't want to have to worry about my app breaking when a new OS comes out.
Suggestions?
I would keep the background click->ResignFirstResponder that you have already, but add to it.
Curious, what button do you have set in the bottom right of the keyboard? There are options to show a Done, Search, Go, Next etc. buttons that can be setup to ResignFirstResponder. Pick the button that makes sense in your situation.
You can hook into the bottom right button by setting a callback to UITextField.ShouldReturn and calling ResignFirstResponder. You can just return false (that return value is for allowing line breaks in your UITextField).
Found an example here of hooking up ShouldReturn.
