Scrollbar not moving when resizing - Page 2

BetterRed · 06-18-2026, 10:13 AM

@thiago.eec - With your settings I get the same behaviour as you, text doesn't adjust when window size is changed.

You have TTS and AI related settings configured, as does Comfy.n - I have neither, and I don't have the issue.

So, it looks like the problem is related to TTS and/or AI. I am not interested in enabling either, a) I have no use for them, b) they require 3rd party components/keys etc.

I doubt it has anything to do with Ai/TTS. More likely its the user stylesheet. If you remove the user stylesheet does it work? It doesnt repro on my linux machine even with that viewer-webengine.json so I wont be able to look into it till i have access to a windows machine again.

My initial impression was that removing then re-adding the custom CSS made some difference in the scrolling stop issue. However when maximising the Viewer I still saw the reflowing not adapting to the viewport like it used to... On second test, without my styles, the scrolling issue happened again.

OK then either wait for me to get around to this (open a ticket so I dont forget) or bisect viewer-webengine.json to find the problematic settings.

From the general description and the fact that I cant repro it in linux, where I use a newer Qt WebEngine this is likely to be a bug in Qt WebEngine, hopefully once I can repro it I can find a workaround.

I removed the custom stylesheet from @thiago.eec's settings, by restoring to default… still have the problem.

Also tried removing the sapi/tts and llm settings from the webengine.json file… still have the problem.

@thiago.eec's Preferences->Scrolling behaviour->Show a scrollbar setting is checked, if I uncheck it the problem seems to go away. I don't have it checked.

I removed the custom CSS and the scrollbar and it still happens here. Let's hope Kovid can reproduce it when he gets back.
