Question

Lightroom is missing horizontal scroll bar in folder browser when importing new file

Hi, the horizontal scrollbar is missing in the browser when you import new images in Lightroom. As soon as you have several folders and images with long name it is impossible to read the folder or file name. There is also no way to resize the the folder browser window.

Could you please correct this?

 

Thanks

Instead of using the LrC folder browser, click the From at the top and select "Other Source" and it will bring up File Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac.

Thanks! Not ideal but it works. Hope Adobe will fix it soon. Resizable UI is the basis..

Hold the Alt Key, and click and drag from the left panel edge to make it wider. It's not optimal for screen real estate, but you should be able to read them better.

A first step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences. 

https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/ 

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help, you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue. 

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.
