Double scrollbars in search results

[lewistg]

I'm having some issues with the search results UI. For some time now I've had trouble with a double scrollbars in the search results. It's particularly painful because I always have to scroll the inner scrollbar before I can scroll the outer scrollbar. As a result scrolling through search results is always delayed. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround by chance?

I've also had the same problem for quite some time now and it is very frustrating. It takes several attempts to scroll before anything happens. I even have to wait like 0.5s after it didn't work to scroll, or else nothing happens at all, that might be a macos thing.

Thank you for taking a look. I just can't believe this is not a bug. The inner scrollbar scrolls a very tiny amount and does not scroll the results. The outer scroll bar is the one that actually scrolls the results. I've created a slightly more exaggerated example of the bug in this codepen mockup. I just think the `.search-results-wrapper` element (in the actual Splunk UI) should not have the `overflow-y: scroll` styling.

If I keep my mouse off the `.search-results-wrapper` element while scrolling, things work as expected. It's just difficult to scroll that way.

Hey @lewistg,

This isn't a bug. If your mouse pointer is inside the search results section, the default behavior of scroll would be to scroll through the search results. Have you tried scrolling down while your mouse cursor is outside the search results section?

Thanks,
Tejas.

I would consider this to be a minor bug, or at least unwanted (default?) behaviour.  It makes no sense (at least not in the general search-and-reporting context) to have a separate veritcal scrollbar for the search results.  In a dashboard that could contain more than one list of results, it could be a different thing.

At least in version 9.4.3 the default behaviour is as it used to be - just one scrollbar.

This is definitely a minor bug as it degrades user experience and ease of use. I can't scroll down easily regardless of my mouse location.
