Hi,

I scroll my charts with the wheel of my mouse, which is working great, but I also would like to use the scroll bar at the bottom to scroll faster.
If I select and drag the button on the scroll bar, it works fine, but i'm used to simply clicking with my mouse on the precise point where I want the button to jump to. But when doing so, the chart rewinds at the very beginning or at the very end. It's a bit annoying when exploring charts with lots of datas.
Now, I first have to zoom out, then scroll by dragging the scroll bar button, which is not very efficient, compared to my previous platform.

Small irritating thing, but if there is a tweak, I would be glad to know.
Hope my request is clear. Thank you for your help,

Thomas

No this is not clear. We do not know what you mean by this:
But when doing so, the chart rewinds at the very beginning or at the very end.

Well, I just want the scroll bar button to move to the pointer of my mouse when I click anywhere on the time scale. I think it would be more convenient than selecting the button and sliding it towards the desired point on time scale, especially since the button is very narrow.
Now when clicking on the time scale, the button either slides directly at the beginning or the time scale, or at the end of it.
I guess there is no bypass to it, but I tried my luck.
Thank you,
Thomas

First, the scroll box within the scrollbar is not narrow. It is the standard size. Maybe your operating system is making narrow.

When you click on the scrollbar away from the scroll box, scrolling is page by page.

Maybe you do not have enough data loaded the chart. This can be done by increasing the Days to Load setting:

Or Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 2 >> Scroll Multiplier is not set to 1.
