Unable to scroll in some Preferences panes

Post by Zearin »

I've got a screenshot:

As you can see, there's no way to scroll down to see the rest of the preferences on the right. The windows was resized to the maximum allowable vertically and there was still not sufficient space to get to the end of the preference details.

I'm on a MacBook (OS X v10.5 "Leopard), running Oxygen as a standalone app.

Hello,

For a screen height of 768 pixels or less you should see a scroll bar in the Preferences dialog. What is the resolution of your screen set in OS X?

My display is set to 1280╳800, the maximum allowable on my MacBook.

We will set a scroll bar also for larger resolutions. If you cannot increase the height of your resolution please contact us to tell you how you can download an install kit that should fix the problem.

Hello,

There is an easy workaround until the release of version 9.2 which will be in less than a month and which will fix this problem of the Preferences dialog: change the resolution in the operating system so that the screen height is reduced below 768 pixels. In this case a vertical scroll bar is displayed.
