Address Drop Down list Scroll Bar

by thefillanator Aug 12, 2011 7:13AM PDT

Hello ;

I'm running Windows XP and what I'm curious about is the Address Drop Down Scroll Bar. When I want to select a site from the Drop Down list the Scroll Bar is at the Top and I scroll down. However I did something, (what I don't know) now the Scroll Bar goes to the bottom and I have to Scroll to the Top each time.

Can someone tell me what I can do so the Address Scroll Bar sits at the top without having to scroll up each time.

Thanks for any help

Address Drop Down list Scroll Bar

Hi Bob;

I'm running Windows XP... It's when I use Internet Explorer and click the Drop Down Button
on the Address Bar which lists the previous addresses visited. The slider Scroll bar now sets
itself to the Bottom of the List and I need to scroll up, where as before, it would set itself at
the Top of the list and I would scroll down. The change in the position came after I had some
kind of finger malfunction on the keyboard and inadvertently pressed a couple of keys (which
I don't know) and now the new "behaviour" for the scroll bar.

So how do I get the scroll bar to stick to the Top of the list instead of the bottom?

Regards....Phil

How long since you cleared that history?

IE is known for odd behavior as it's TIF cache and other things fill. I'd clear this and the TIF.

It's not a bug I've seen before but given enough time I'd make a bet it can get buggy.
