Need horizontal scroll on BROWSER; current end-of-table placement is no good

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Obsolete
    • Icon: Medium Medium
    • 5.8
    • 5.0-OD-24, 5.0
    • None
    • All, though I personally use Mac/Firefox. Others here user Linux/Firefox, Mac/Safari, Windows/IE, Windows/Firefox, Mac/Chrome, Windows/Chrome.

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      See the attached picture of an important table we moved from TWiki to Confluence. The table is wide and long. While there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the table, because it is not visible while looking at the middle or top of the table it is useless.
      Confluence NEEDS to put a horizontal scroll bar ON THE BROWSER, just like the vertical scroll on the browser. (There is a reason this table is as wide and long as it is, and our users want it that way. So that is NOT a workaround.)
      BTW, someone here said "just click on the table and use the arrow keys," but only the up/down ones work. Again, this is not a workaround.

      Workaround

      Place the table in a 'column' macro inside a 'section' macro.

            Description Original:     See the attached picture of an important table we moved from TWiki to Confluence. The table is wide and long. While there *is* a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the table, because it is not visible while looking at the middle or top of the table it is *useless*.
                Confluence NEEDS to put a horizontal scroll bar ON THE BROWSER, just like the vertical scroll on the browser. (There is a reason this table is as wide and long as it is, and our users want it that way. So that is NOT a workaround.)
                BTW, someone here said "just click on the table and use the arrow keys," but only the up/down ones work. Again, this is not a workaround.

            h3. Workaround
            Place the table in a 'column' macro inside a 'section' macro.
