Bug #5607

Cannot scroll down to end of long menu
0%
Description
I even made my (Chrome or Firefox) browser full screen. When I open the Diagnostics menu it is too long for the screen. But when I scroll the right hand scroll bar the currently open page in the background scrolls down, but the Diagnostics menu items list does not move up/down.
So I cannot (easily) select items like "Test Port" and later that are at the end of the menu.
Note that I can arrow down the menu and keep count of where I am as I go off the screen - that lets me get to the non-visible menu items, but is not user-friendly.

Are you using the fixed header? That is the reason I marked it BETA because we have some LONG menus...
If the header is static, you can scroll to see it.

Ah, yes, System->General Setup, Top Navigation was set to Fixed. I changed it to "Scrolls with page" and now of course I can scroll down and see the rest of the menu.
Now, I wonder what could be done for the "Fixed" option so that a drop-down menu that is too long will get a scroll bar, or?

Cool.
Short term: My best plan is to put a note about small screen size as to avoid the problem you ran into.
Long Term: My best plan is to add better hierarchy to the menu structure and pages. A collapsable vertical side menu is also probably better for usability.

I changed the help text to say the fixed option was to only be used with large screens.
