Hello fellow FIleMakers! For the last several days I have been trying to figure out why scroll bars only sometimes extend through the top navigation part while in LIST view. This seems to be specific to Macs. [Snip20240709_2] The image above shows how sometimes the scroll bar only extends throug…

which themes are you using? (and can confirm all kind of weird nondeterministic behavior all over though)
