How to reach the bottom of a long feature panel?

Henk_de_Vlaam

Occasionally a feature panel is longer than a screen (see the red highlight in the example of the changed Flange feature in the latest update 1.151). Then I can't reach the bottom. 

Is there a way to get to the bottom without changing the screen resolution or should a slider (here gray) be added to a panel as an enhancement in this case?

you can click the little "V" shapes to collapse that part of the UI

@Evan_Reese,

Damn I didn't think of that, collapsing Overall parameters.

But in this case, the expanded End conditions should not become longer because the panel is now almost touching the bottom.

@Henk_de_Vlaam, I vote for the slider.  Submit an improvement request.

I also want a slider or some other solution. Collapsing groups isn't my favorite way. I've also found myself wanting a "collapse all" option or similar.

Long time since I’ve used a mouse. Now it’s iPhone screens and track pads. So please, jog my memory on how a mouse works within a window or dialog nowadays 

So if you put that little scroll handle on the right side of the dialog box of the featurescript, will that allow you to simply move your cursor over the top of the dialog box, and then scroll up and down by rolling the wheel on your mouse or by swiping your finger up and down on the trackpad of your notebook computer ?

On my iPhone, one small swipe and I’m down at the bottom of a list of 50 or 60 or 70 different parts, instantaneously

So what I’m saying is, I like the idea of swiping better than trying to grab a handle, because my eye to hand coordination isn’t always crisp or sharp nowadays. LOL

Give me the ability to do a sloppy old swipe or the flick of my thumb, to get to the bottom of that box/window/list

I often find that feature dialogs don’t have a big enough space to see what I’m doing. I’m also mostly working on a 4K monitor so it is frustrating not to be able to resize the small dialog. On smaller monitor or mobile device, it’s the opposite issue. It seems like the one size fits all approach isn’t working for a lot of people.

I added the recommendation of @steve_shubin for the use of the trackpad of a notebook computer (https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/83726/#Comment_83726) to the IR.
