Pre-Existing Bug
When working in Design Mode in View by Kind or View by Name mode, the vertical scroll bar becomes flaky or disappears altogether when there is large number of icons in the relation.
This is a known bug from older versions of Helix. No problems are seen with 2720 icons or less, but at exactly 2721 icons, the list begins to act flaky, and scrolling at the bottom of the list becomes erratic. At 2731 icons the vertical scroll bar disappears altogether.
However it should be noted that 2700+ icons in a relation is extremely unusual. If you are affected by this bug, you may want to take a hard look at your database design. It may be that you are trying to combine the function of multiple relations into one. Look for multiple fields holding the same data class (e.g. "item#1", "item#2", "item#3", "item#4", etc…). If you have this, you should move the "item" field to another relation and take advantage of the relational capabilities of Helix that show its true power.
There are two options:
- Switch to View by Icon mode. The problem does not manifest in this mode.
- Reduce the number of icons to 2720 or less.
This bug has been reproduced in our test lab. It appears in current versions of Helix, and will be addressed in an upcoming release.
This bug existed in versions of Helix Express prior to our company's acquisition of Helix.
