Horizontal scrollbar not available (for complex nodes)

I have a Kanban board where, recently, the horizontal scrollbar has disappeared/is not available. 

I use the Kanban board for tracking all my tasks. This means there is a lot of tasks (completed and not-completed), a lot of mirror-nodes, etc. This task list is also mirrored in other places. I don't know if any of this complexity is creating the issue, but I tried to reproduce the issue with a new list created from scratch, and this simple list does not have the issue.

The issue that I'm having with the "complex" Kanban board persists, between reboots of my computer, and is present on both Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

I don't want to upload a screenshot, because my tasklist obviously have a lot of things that I can't post on the internet. But just imagine a window with content extending beyond the window to the right, but with no horizontal scroll bar. E.g. open the board in a large/wide window, and then re-size the window. (The vertical scroll bars are visible, both for the whole window, and for each column in the Kanban board.) 

 

PS: The Kanban board also has a different issue: If I open the board in a small/narrow window, and then manually extend the width of the window, I can see that many of the column are visible. Specifically, only the columns that were visible in the narrow window will be visible when I resize the window. However, this issue is also present in the new list that I created, so it is probably not directly related. But perhaps you are trying to do something fancy (like only fetching data for visible nodes or something), and that logic is affecting my list. If that is the case, please provide an option to disable this "feature".

  Hi Rasmus,

  Are you using the installed desktop app or the browser app? Which browser? Mac or Windows?

  The issue is present in both desktop app and browser app, using Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Although sometimes the issue goes away when using Firefox (but if I look at the same task list, at the same time, using Chrome/Edge or Desktop app, the issue is there).

  Update: I had some text in the "notes" field of the Kanban board's main node. When I cleared the the notes field, the issue went away. I think what happened is the presence of the "notes" at the top of the Kanban board somehow pushed the horizontal scroll bar down below the window's viewport / the visible area of the window. It was kind of nice to have a notes field for the Kanban board with links and other relevant things, but I can live without. Thank you for the quick reply though. 👍
