[SOLVED]Can't scroll in Excel Mobile

---

I've done a search in both the Leo forums as well as xda in general and can't see a solution for my problem:

I am unable to scroll within excel mobile. Whenever I drag my finger across the screen it selects cells rather than scrolling. This isn't a problem if I wish to move up and down as the vertical scroll bar is visible and can be used. However, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't display even though it is selected in the menu.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

can anyone help?

When you open Excel, click on the right side of the screen (= scroll bar) and the scroll-button will appear. Use that to scroll up and down. The same goes for the horizontal scroll bar (well, it's on the bottom of the Excel screen and you scroll from left to right ;)). Should be there, otherwise I wouldn't know.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the horizontal scroll bar isn't visible on the screen, even though when I go into view -> show the horizontal scroll bar checkbox is ticked.

The vertical scroll bar also works like a "normal" scroll bar in that the scrolling part is always the same size; it doesn't increase in size when the scroll bar is tapped on. However, I seem to remember that's how it used to work when I first got the phone, so perhaps in all the various tweaks and things I've done since I've unwittingly edited something that is affecting it?!

Oh well.

You're not in full screen mode are you?

And have you tried opening a new document?

No not in full screen mode, and I have opened various different (existing) spreadsheets, and tried creating a new one and the same thing happens in all of them.

I've solved the problem. A little look into HD2Tweak and I spotted an option for horizontal scroll bar which was set to none. I changed it to normal and a quick soft reset later and I was able to see the horizontal scroll bar again; not just in Excel but other apps too.

I don't remember switching it to none, but am just glad it's working again now!
