kmmcrafts Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 A while back I was trying to do something on inkscape and I think my computer just froze for a second.. but I was doing the crazy click on everything trying to make something happen, LOL and guess what? Something happen alright.. If I zoom way in to do some detail work.. I cannot move the image around at all.. my scroll bars disappeared, LOL.. The scroll bar for up down it there and works.. there is one at the bottom but it only works on the colors palette.. It seems if I zoom back out.. it moves the image I was working with.. What happen? Thought I'd ask here if anyone has any idea.. If not then I'm just going to uninstall it and re install it.. probably a hundred new versions since I put it on here anyway.. maybe some new stuff to learn on the latest version too, LOL Quote
JimErn Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Have you closed and reopened inkscape to see if it comes back? And look at the right side, sometimes there is a vertical icon bar (I have no idea how it gets there) if it is there cover over each icon and see if one will "show" the window scroll bar. You can also use the mouse scroll wheel to move around, I rarely use it, but pressing ctrl while using the mouse wheel changes direction, I think shift or alt also affects it. kmmcrafts 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks Jim for your suggestions.. Yes I've closed the program and shut down the computer etc.. This happen a month or so ago and I didn't think much of it at the time as I was able to do what i needed without.. the most recent pattern I'm working on isn't going to be so easy to do without being able to scroll side to side.. I can use the mouse wheel for up/down movement. don't think it works for side to side? Anyway.. whatever I did a while back seems to be staying that way.. I may just see if installing the latest version will fix / repair it.. may just have to uninstall and reinstall it.. Quote
