Guys,
I have hardly explainable suggestion, but I'll try explain with pictures.
Please fix in Eviews 8 the scroll bar over worksheets/pages. Please look at pic1.
There are 5 pages visible, others (~20 pages) are not visible. In order to observe other pages, I need to scroll using the arrows to the left on the pic1 or use hot key CTRL+PageUp. Using hot key CTRL+PageUp we step on the page which is not visible now, see pic2. In order to see next page I MUST to use arrows anyway, in order to arrive to next page, see pic3 here This is what annoys me. Could you please to fix the visible window of scrolling pages using hot key CTRL+PageUp (I love that hot key!!), that any time I slide over the pages I observe the page where currently I am.

Thank you. Hope to see the changes in Eviews 8.

We will get it fixed

It will be fixed in 8

Thank you a lot. I appreciate that!!!

One more thing. May be it's not so polite, but is it possible to synchronize Eviews hot key CTRL+PageUp with EXCEL? I mean to switch to next page in Eviews it means press CTRL+PageUp, but in EXCEL the same move is CTRL+PageDown. To go page back respectively vice versa. Since people usually work with both programs, and this is a bit confusing. Synchronizing that hot key would a benefit. But, I suppose, there might be some "ideological" prolems?! just not to copy all hot keys from Excel or something else ...

We will change that in EViews 8 as well

Dear Jason,
I've just checked in Eviews 8, the problem still partly persists. Toggling pages works fine going from right to left as it is in pics1,2,3. Although, toggling pages from left to right horizontal scrolling bar still overlaps the names of pages...
is it possible to fix it?

We will get it fixed

Dear Jason,

Thanks for the fixing, but there is still one more problem. Pages appear very well toggling from right to left, but problem still persists if one toggles pages from left to right.
If one generate let's say 10 pages with 200 series on each page, somehow pages tend to disappear.

I am not seeing the problem. Can you describe how to get into this state and post screen shots?

Whenever I open Eviews, the scroll bar size is automatically set to its default. In other words, when I open Eviews, the first thing I do is minimize the scroll bar size to see all the sheets in Eviews. After I finish my work and open the Eviews again, I have to minimize the size of the scroll bar again and every time. I wonder if it is possible to customize it based on the preferences of users. Thank you.

I’m not sure I understand what “minimize the scroll bar” means. Could you screen shot?

I have attached two screenshots below. Scroll-1 is what Eviews does when you open it. Scroll-2 is what I do every time I open Eviews. I need to fix the placement of the scroll bar as it is shown in the Scroll-2.png. Thank you for your prompt response.

Will there be any patch release containing solutions for this customizing scroll bar issue in the upcoming days?

Not in the upcoming days, no. But we'll add it to the list.
