Q: ever since the update last week, I am having trouble with the side bar for scrolling to appear.

Ever since the update last week, the sidebar used for scrolling disappears.  This is very frustrating.

    Hi there cactusrx,

     

    You can change this behavior in the General pane of System Preferences. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    Show scroll bars

    Scroll bars appear in a window when there’s more information than fits into the window’s current size. If you want the scroll bars to be hidden until you start scrolling, select “When scrolling.”

    To test the effect of choosing “Automatically based on input device,” select it, then open a Finder window and reduce its size to make scroll bars appear. Leave the window open as you select and deselect the option.

    Click in the scroll bar to

    Specify what should happen when you click in the scroll bar. “Jump to the next page” means clicking in the scroll bar moves the content page by page. “Jump to the spot that’s clicked” moves to the spot where you’re clicking; for example, if you click at the bottom of the scroll bar, you go to the bottom of the document.

    To momentarily switch between scrolling methods, hold down the Option key while clicking the scroll bar.
