Horizontal scrolbar seems to be disappearing on video playback

Happened to notice that the horizontal scroll appears briefly when reviewing video, but disappears quickly. Then you can't grab it to scroll with a conventional mouse.

  • If you are viewing in a web browser or in QuickTime Player than this does happen, and I agree it can be quite annoying, but this is beyond SecuritySpy's control - it's up to the player.

    In SecuritySpy's built-in Browser, the timeline is visible at all times, which you can use to scrub backwards/forwards.
  • I do use the Browser, but still the scroll bar appears briefly then disappears. Catalina latest vers. and latest (today) S.S. ver.
  • OK I think I misunderstood that you were talking about the horizontal movie scrubber/timeline control. In terms of the actual scrollbars to scroll around content in a particular view/window, whether these display only while using them, or all the time, is a system-wide option that applies to all applications. To have them display all the time, open System Preferences, select the General option, and under "Show scroll bars", select "Always".
  • Thanks Ben, another foo pah on me :-). Just wasn't making the connection between SS's scroll bars and System wide settings. Times have gotten a little too "interesting"these days...my Train of Thought goes off the tracks much more often ;-).
  • Don't worry, I know the feeling!
