TMGR: Vertical Scroll Box Changes Selection in Grouped View (150106)

SUMMARY

In a view with an active grouping, if you drag the vertical scroll bar thumb button far enough to move a different group to the top of the window, then the selection becomes a single cell at the top of the window in the same column as the previous active cell, instead of the originally selected cell. The selection does not change when you use the vertical scroll arrows.

MORE INFORMATION

The Task Organizer view and similar views allow tasks to be grouped by various categories. For example, the Task Organizer view can be grouped by Priority as follows: on the View menu, point to Grouping, and then click By Priority.

This displays the tasks in an outline structure, with group headings in the Task Name column corresponding to each of the possible priority values: "Priority: Highest," "Priority: Very High," and so on. A grouping can be removed as follows: on the View menu, point to Grouping, and then click No Grouping.

When a grouping is active, you can use the vertical scroll bar thumb button to scroll whole groups at a time, instead of one row at a time. If you drag the scroll box far enough to move a different group to the top of the window, then the selection becomes a single cell at the top of the window as described above. If you do not move the scroll box far enough, it simply snaps back.

WORKAROUND

To scroll vertically while keeping the same cells selected, click the scroll arrows or the empty parts of the scroll bar. You can also use the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, PAGE UP, and PAGE DOWN keys.
