Strange Screen behaviour in '08 but not in '07 Arnie Goetchius 03-03-2008

In Q08, I have the Account Bar Display" set up on the right hand side of
the screen. When I hover the cursor over the vertical bar on the left
side of the account list, a small hand icon appears. The purpose of the
"hand" is to allow me to scroll up and down the account list. However,
when I left click the cursor to start the scroll, the "hand" icon
changes to the "resize" icon with a bar with arrows at each end. At this
point, I can only resize the account list. I cannot scroll the list
because the "hand" icon is no longer there.

If I go into Edit, Preferences, Quicken Program, Setup and select
Account Bar Display - Left Side of Screen, the "hand" icon works
properly and allows me to scroll the account list. This is only a
problem when the account list is set up on the right side of the screen.

In Q07, the "hand" icon worked properly when the account list was
displayed on the right side of the screen.

Can anyone else verify this problem?

Yes, it's a known bug, reported a couple of months ago in the
Quicken forums.

I meant to add that you can still scroll the list of accounts in
the Account Bar using the large arrows at the top and bottom
center of the list.

Good. That works fine.
