Issue 1979
Problem with variable size boxes, i.e., modify, render settings, etc.
I am currently using 6.53. I suspect this issue goes from 6.0 to present releases since it is UI related.

Importing from 3dxchange found an issue that can cause problems.
The screen captures may help to explain.

After exporting to Iclone I had problems to edit the prop.

Notice the first capture of the screen with the 2 boxes on the right.
There is no scroll bar on the right side next to the listing box. There is a scroll bar for the entire box.
I found this resulted from altering box size to provide more working space.

When I spread the indigo and modify boxes a small bit wider a scroll bar become visible for the material item list.

I first thought I was doing something wrong in my export from 3dxchange and spend a couple hours going back and forth 3dxchange to Iclone. I didn't think about a missing scroll bar.
For some reason I extended the width of the Modify box in Iclone and when it reached a specified width the additional scroll bar presented beside the material list.

This should be fixed to show the scroll bar always regardless of whether the listing is readable. Anyone would know to expand the box to be able to read the text listing.

There may be other boxes I have not spent time to find them.

I did change the font size in preferences and it didn't make a difference. The material list scroll bar was not visible when the window boxes had decreased width.

Note: you have to look carefully to see the problem. There is only one scroll bar on the right of the material list in the first image. Look carefully you can see this bar is for the entire length of the modify or render box. Looking carefully you can see in the second screen capture two scroll bars to the right of the material list.
There is an additional scroll bar that is associated with the material list only.

If you look closely at the VERY BOTTOM of the panels, there is a HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR.

So the vertical scroll bars you're looking for are actually there, they are just scrolled off to the right.

It's not good, though.  I agree with that.
And if you make the panel wider, I think it keeps coming back "narrow" again.  I can't remember if the width persists for a session, but for sure the next time you start iClone they will all be narrow again.

This really should be cleaned up.  We are used to vertical scrolling, but having a panel wider than its window is abnormal and should be fixed.
