Up/Down buttons on scroll bars?

I've also had the problem of the up/down buttons disappearing from the scroll bars and don't have a Magic Mouse. Is there any other solution other than the up/down buttons on the keyboard?

Many thanks

This is especially painful on pages that are 100+ pages long (obviated by making the scroll bar slider very small) it is frequently hard to navigate to view a full paragraph or image.

While I'm composing this post, the slider is very large, so when I drag it, I have precision control.

When I'm using my MacBook Pro as a desktop driving a larger monitor, the track pad is inaccessable for the "new" gestures.

I'm a bass player and i use a foot mouse that clicks on the down arrow, when i step on it. I use it to scroll down sheet music. if i have to remove my hands from the strings it's a real backward step.

I need those arrows back!

I have this problem too. When editing large documents I often need to see a full paragraph or other specific chunk of text rather than scrolling from page to page. I found that the keyboard arrows work for scrolling line by line in Firefox but not in Pages documents. Is there any way to set it up so they do work in Pages? Or some other way to scroll line by line instead of page by page?

Thanks, sort of solved this problem.

I had a package where the small scoll arrows were absolutely necessary, otherwise it skipped 10 pages each click.

But yes, the keyboard left-right arrows do advance just one page. At least I can work now (no thanks to Apple).

Unfortunately, some people appear to give the impression that the existence of the accessibility options within OS X makes it ok for the scroll bar not to accessible. I have been told that this change was made to make OS X look and feel like iOS… I use a computer, not an iOS device.

I am extremely frustrated by the damage this has caused to my Microsoft, Adobe software, but am curious as to how volunteer developers of Calibre have kept the scroll bar arrows. My cerebral palsy has never been a barrier to computer use since I started using computers in mid 1970's (the opposite was true) but now Apple have created a shameful and totally pointless barrier. I am an employer and investor, so can't have staff using scroll bar for me because of data protection etc.

I can't take much more of this.

System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bars

System preferences -> general -> show scroll bars

Cheers 🙂

You Can choose whether to jump to The next page or to where you click, when you click The bar. But I'm not sure about The little arrows.

Up and Down arrows on keyboard will do this if that helps.

+1 for getting scroll bar arrows back in Lion!

Very useful for my needs.....please Apple, give us the option in Prefs!!!

Magic mouse is no solution for laptop users.
