Missing Scrollbars

Postby Mush Man » Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:23 pm

Inkscape's scrollbars mysteriously have gone missing completely for me. I'm not sure what happened, but after both closing the program and restarting the computer, they haven't reappeared. I don't believe I've changed any settings, although, for arguement's sake, maybe I have. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Are there any workarounds or solutions?
I'm using Inkscape v0.46 on Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thanks in advance.

View->Show/Hide->Scrollbars

Or press Ctrl-B, which is probably what you did accidentally.

Panning the canvas around with MMB-drag is a lot nicer than using the scrollbars though.

aho, could you please tell me how to pan with MMB drag?
Thanks for that Slow Dog. Ctrl. + B did the trick. :)

MMB=middle mouse button (this is usually the mouse wheel)

Just hold MMB and drag the canvas around.

Double thanks for both this answer and the MMB tip!
