Vertical scroll bar slides of screen in IE11?

Transam · 9 Aug 2014 at 19:20

Probably a horribly stupid question, but I've noticed that on some websites, after I scroll down a bit, the vertical scroll bar slides off the screen, and won't come back until I move the cursor away from where it was and then go back to where the scroll bar should be.
It then slides back onto the screen, I can scroll to where I want, but the bar doesn't stay there, slides off again and I have to do the same thing again.
I presume this is intentional by the website designer, but is there any way to stop it happening?
Probably a setting somewhere, but I can't find it!

Thanks in advance!

It only seems to happen to about 1/3 of websites on mine - not here, for example. I've just had a look and some people are saying to turn off Compatibility View to stop it happening - no idea how to do that, either.
As you can tell, I am a computer EXPERT :cool:

, so don't use Firefox - I tend to stick to what I know!

Just tried this site specifically for IE11 - http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/
It's one of the ones with the vanishing toolbar, and you're right, disabling it did nothing!

The site I linked in the post above yours, for one! Drives me round the bloody bend, I only have laptops so no scroll wheel on a mouse - I know I can configure the touchpad to do the same, but then I'm always hitting it by mistake...
