Bug in LR CC: Since LR 6 there is no horizontal scroll bar in the Book Module anymore (when enlarging a page 1:1 or 4:1). The vertical scroll bar still exists.

I just updated to the latest version of Lightroom 10.1.1 and I still have the same problem that I reported on July 2017!

I copy what I posted then since nothing has changed:
In book module the horizontal scrollbar is missing,  I can only scroll vertically.

The main problem I have is that if I select any  zoom ratio to check text properly,  I can only see (zoomed)  a stripe from top to bottom of  the page since I am not able to scroll horizontally.               It seems that the white square in the preview button gets stuck and the only movement that can be done is up and down.

I hope the screen shots help to make it clear ( Fit,  1:1,  4:1) Thank you for your help!

I submitted this same bug yesterday because while I searched for an existing issue I didn't see this; @Rikk thanks for linking to here. But 5+ years and no fix, probably not going to happen.

Workaround: Forget zoom. If you need to change something other than the spine of a book, just click all over the place until you happen to select what you want to change. Or use 50 pt text all the time so you don't need to zoom at all.

Lightroom CC 10/10.1 (Windows) Book module - If I am editing a book in Spread View (either the front/back cover or inside spread of left and right pages) and use View > Zoomed Page View to edit the page(s), there is no horizontal scroll bar, which means I cannot edit any part of the view other than maybe the middle 10%, which in my case was the spine of the book cover. Also cannot use Preview tool to move right or left, only up or down. See screen shot for lack of handle on horizontal scroll bar. Maximizing/minimizing/resizing the application makes no difference.

Hi Adobe,
My post is celebrating its 5th birthday. It was born at the time of Lightroom 6. Now, we have LR 9 but 5 years later still no progress on this small but (for many of us) important feature...
Is there a reasonable explanation for not getting fixed this for the Windows version of Lightroom?
It's working for Mac - and it did also work for Windows until LR5...
Please... It cannot be rocket sience to get this annoying bug removed.

Jeffrey, it's now four years later, please use your influence to help us out here in customer-land. Book covers are important. And for some users, the problem exists for pages as well (see thread). Thank you in advance!
