With a non-default theme, can't see/use the vertical scrollbar with PuTTY application

March 1, 2021 8:04:55 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

When using a non-default theme with WindowBlinds on Win 10 (tested builds 2004 (19041.746) and 20H2 (19042.804)), the vertical scrollbar is missing or broken in the application "PuTTY" (or any of the variations of it, such as PuTTY NG or KiTTY).  This is an extremely common SSH client.  Download:  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

Depending on the theme, the scrollbar will be completely invisible, or may overlap the right window border or be completely outside the window area (and will be non-functional either way).

I'm using the latest versions of PuTTY and WindowBlinds.

I also tested in a VM with new installs of everything to confirm it wasn't just some other setting on my laptop.

Several themes tested, including "The Captain", "Precision",  and "True Classic".

100% monitor scaling, and tested various resolutions including 1920x1080

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I don't see it on my system.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I meant the main terminal window in Putty, not the Configuration window.

Instructions to test this using a public Telnet server:

  1. Start Putty and go to the Session category.
  2. For the Host Name and Port, use:  rainmaker.wunderground.com 3000
  3. For the Connection type, choose Telnet.
  4. Click on Open.
  5. After it connects, just hit Enter enough times so that a vertical scrollbar should appear (but it will be broken).

 

BTW, there's a problem with getting email notifications from topics I'm subscribed to.  Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.  Not a spam folder issue.  Anyway...
