484623 - Support for Mac-like scrollbars, with both arrows at one end

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Skywriter Graveyard :: User Interface, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Gordon P. Hemsley [:GPHemsley]]

I don't personally want this feature, as I prefer having arrows at both ends of my scrollbars, but I figured someone might. After all, it is the default setting on Mac OS X.

And Bespin is supposed to be designed to be used anywhere.... What if the user is a usually on a Mac, but that anywhere happens to be a Windows computer. Surely, we wouldn't want to break their muscle memory?

Good point. We should probably:

- default to the OS way
- allow: set scrollbartype default|apart|together-top|together-bottom|....

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: User Interface.

In Mac Firefox, the scroll-up arrow button seems to  be entirely missing, regardless of preference setting for separate top/bottom locations or the 2 together.  (see attached image)

In Mac Firefox, there are no working options to show both scroll-up and scroll-down arrow buttons on window right side.  Only the scroll-up button shows, and only at the bottom.

These comments have nothing to do with this bug. Please file a new bug in the proper Firefox-related component.

ACETRANSITION

The Skywriter project has merged with Ajax.org's Ace project (the full server part of which is their Cloud9 IDE project). Background on the change is here:

http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/2011/01/18/mozilla-skywriter-has-been-merged-into-ace/

The bugs in the Skywriter product are not necessarily relevant for Ace and quite a bit of code has changed. For that reason, I'm closing all of these bugs. Problems that you have with Ace should be filed in the Ace issue tracker at GitHub:
