Hi, I have an enterprise customer needing this setting for their users, do you know what version will allow to use this setting without a flag? Thanks for your help

I'm certain that I'm more important to Gooble than any enterprise customer. Just stating facts. You know me, I'm totally humble. I'm wonderful that way.

I guess that 'issue' isn't all bad, it looks as though they're moving the setting to something that can be set without using a 'flag', although until they get around to deprecating the flag, you'll have to still use the flag to use the setting :crazy:

I'm looking at the fact this issue has been open since 2018... Hell, Flex was not even a thing then...

And I hope too, someone's looking at the bigger issue, you know, that if the scrollbar in the Files app behaved like the others, I, for one wouldn't even be looking to change its behavior.

Maybe someone actually reads my crap...look at the dates :lol:

Yes, so many problems in user interfaces now and sadly, no one cares anymore, it won't be fixed, ever. 😞😕😞

I kinda wonder if peeps just sit and laugh at their end-users.

Maybe I need to say something even more distinctly. Overlaying something that big right over the video you're trying to watch on a small display is really the problem.

Heh. I don't disagree. The thing is, they way they've done it work well nearly everywhere in the OS. There's two places where the behavior is different. The damn Files App is the worst. Using an external mouse without a scroll wheel, it's just about unusable. I'll look for the other 'different behaved' spot sometime. I recall its behavior, you sorta have to hold the mouse in the spot for like a second for the scrollbar to appear...It's not nearly as annoying as the files app.

You know, particularly with ChromeOS Flex being promoted as something to use on 'older systems', Gooble needs to really think about this stuff. Much like the damn control in the Media App that I've bitched about. [size=200]IT TAKES UP TOO MUCH REAL ESTATE ON SMALLER DISPLAYS[/size]. Stuff like this and consistency. A friend of mine describes these situations as 'death by a thousand paper cuts'.

I do really have an appreciation of Flex. I wouldn't bother commenting otherwise.

Hiding scrollbars is fully insane. They are deranged. :sick: :sick: :sick:

and check...

If anyone from Gooble happens to read this shit, you need someone to go over all the various places where scrollbar are and/or could be used a check for fucking consistency.

I guess I should explain why. It's the freaking Files App. If you load a directory with enough files that you need to scroll to see all of them or more of them after the scrollbar fades or autohides, getting the scrollbar on the right side of the thing to reappear is a major fucking pain in the ass. Sure, using a mouse with a scroll wheel works and there's some funky-add gesture you can do with a trackpad, but if you don't have a scroll wheel on your mouse and don't want to deal with funky ass gestures, the damn scrollbars not disappearing to begin with help a fuck ton. :lolno:
