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'm excited about the August Lightroom updates relative to the Book module; however, there appears to be a bug in the zoom functionality - at least for me. I'm told it works correctly for others.

I'm very familiar with using the Preview panel in the upper left hand Navigator area (I use it regularly in the
Develop module). However, in Book module when I zoom in it is stuck centered on the
page. I can move it up/down, but it stays centered horizontally
regardless of whether I select 1:1 or 4:1 zoom.

I asked about this in the comments on the Adobe blog re: this release, and Rikk recommended I reset my Lightroom preference file (by hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom). I did that and the behavior persists.

I am using Windows 10 and have done several
reboots since noting the behavior. Am on Classic CC 7.5 Release.

Any help out there? Am I the only one? It's hard to move/resize the cells with precision when stuck at full page zoom (or full book width for two-page layouts). Thanks1

I am having the same issue. You can't see the scroll bar. It is blacked out. But if you click on the area where the scroll bar is, the images will scroll. Really, bad. There has to be a fix soon. You can not pick another page type, only the ones that are visible. You can scroll down, but it is hit and miss.

It's still there on my Mac in LR CC 2015 when zoomed into 4:1 view. Help Desk often don't know the inner workings of stuff like this.

Hi Rikk,

I just want to let you know a strange information I just received: one of the Adobe help desk agents was telling me that the horizontal scroll bar is a feature that doesn't exist anymore in LR CC. You think I'm kidding? Here the excerpt of the chat transcript:

Jxxxxx: we cannot scroll it horizontally
Jxxxxx: on the preview
Jxxxxx: it is by design like that
Claudia Hereth: Oh no, don't tell me that.
Claudia Hereth: It worked for LR4 and 5...
Claudia Hereth: It is definitely a bug - if not in general but in my version.
Jxxxxx: it is not a bug
Jxxxxx: this feature is no more there in LR CC 2015
Claudia Hereth: No, this is not logical.
Claudia Hereth: why should it have been removed?
Claudia Hereth: Attached an example how it looked like in LR5
Jxxxxx: we have both the versions
Jxxxxx: and we have checked on lR
Jxxxxx: the feature which you are referring to is not there in new version

So, what is correct?

Or can anybody else please check and confirm if he has this "feature" in LR CC 2015?
Thanks.

I want to add that even moving the pane horizontally is not possible.
