Description

Hi, i'm sorry if this bug has already been notified but i couldn't find any issue related to this problem, even if it should occure to a lot of people ? I can't scroll horizontally on macOS, on a table with 15-20 columns. I can only see the first 8-10 columns. I have a vertical scrollbar but not a horizontal one. I tried shortcut + mouse moving, arrows key, move mouse to the right, nothing seem to work for me. I miss something maybe ?

Thank for your time. Tom.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install on macOS
2. Open a table with at least 15 columns
3. Try to scroll right, to see the next columns

Expected Behaviour Be able to scroll left/right to see the other columns

Related Issues None.

Additional Context None.

I can't reproduce this! I have no issues horizontally scrolling with my trackpad. I don't have a mouse to test with though. Are you able to horizontally scroll in other apps like Safari (on a zoomed in webpage)?

[tomjamon]

The only way for me is to click on an empty space, and then move the mouse on a side (while keeping left click down). Otherway the Scrollbar won't show up and i couldn't see the remaining columns on the right.

That's why i can see all columns only on a table with not to much entries.

I have have the same issue on my mac desktop as well. I use a windows keyboard and mouse, so no trackpad option. Horizontal scrollbar never shows.

I don't have a mouse to test, but from reading a few places online, you might be able to scroll horizontally by holding shift while using the scroll wheel on your mouse. Does that work?

Awesome, shift does work. Odd that its needed, but good enough for now. Thanks!

I came here because I couldn't figure out how to view other columns. I mainly use Sequel Ace with a docked laptop, so swiping the trackpad never occurred to me.

Using the left and right arrow keys was how I assumed I'd be able to scroll the columns since up and down works for moving between rows.

Same issue here, was 'scrolling' by selecting a field and tabbing to out-of-screen fields. Scrolling with shift does work (thanks for that comment!) but a horizontal scrollbar that does not hide would be nice. Scrollbar pops up when shift-scrolling so maybe it just needs an always-show toggle.

---edit: It is related to this setting in system preferences, but I guess most content and screens are designed for responsive and vertical scroll only so I don't notice other than my in my large tables.

PR welcome to try to address the scroll bar showing up! I think most users use macOS with a trackpad

Exactly this settings is where you need to change the "Show scroll bars" to the first option. I don't think any PR is needed here, we use native components that behave how native API tells them to, so in this case there is nothing we can do really imo.
