P: Add a Horizontal scroll bar in the Book Modulewhen enlarging a page 1:1 or 4:1 (Windows)

Rikk, 9/23/2019 problem still persists, at least in Windows. Please use your influence to help.

OK, so I now see I'm not alone. Adobe, please listen. Covers are really important.

Designing a book; especially for text I find the 1:1 and 4:1 views in LR very useful. These views work fine for book pages, but will only zoom in on the spine on a few different cover templates I've tried. I can work around starting text in too-large font to edit, then reducing to desired size, or even creating in MS Word then cutting and pasting, but gee whiz. Ideas? Am I the only one who thinks the zoom capability should work equally well on cover designs as on page designs? Any help appreciated.  -- Allan

I am having the same problem - Feb 2019.  Looks like this will never be solved!

I wonder if they think we're insane and just don't know how to use the software...

I didn't do a reinstall, but just installed the Lr 8.0 update tonight. Clearly not one of the bugs fixed. 😞

There is no information to indicate whether a reinstall will help. It is relatively painless to do. Your catalog and files are not affected by an uninstall/reinstall. 

I tried it - and it did NOT help 😞

Can anyone advise if a full uninstall and reinstall of Lr is likely to help this issue? I need to get these books done. And, I assume a reinstall is relatively easy to point the program back at the location my catalogs/files live, without effecting them? Thanks!

Wow - disappointed to see this has plagued people for three years. Ugh. Have several books to make, may need to give up on my hope to build them in Lightroom.
