So when viewing a project backlog we plan out a quarter's worth of sprints at a time. We do one week sprints and do a sort of rolling quarter, meaning we always have at least 13 sprints created and ready to be planned.

The trouble we run into is by default it seems that all sprints are expanded making scrolling fairly difficult and drag and drop functionality also becomes tricky. But if we go through and collapse each sprint, it becomes much easier.

So if a expand/collapse all sprints in the backlog view was there, it would greatly ease a lot of the pain. 

This applies to Jira software and Jira service desk boards as well.
