Extra vertical scroll bar with Include Page and Excerpt macros

Etelle Shur

Every time I use an Include Page, Excerpt, or Excerpt Include macro, the content within that macro gets its own vertical scroll bar. This scroll bar is completely non-functional, as it runs the length of the entire content. Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way to get rid of it? I want the content within the Include Page and Excerpt macros to look like it's native to the page it's displayed on.

Hi @Etelle Shur and welcome to the community,

I can't seem to reproduce your problem. Can you please describe your steps? E.g. Is the included content quite big? If yes, how big? For example, I've included a page containing 10 paragraphs of lorem ipsum, and no scroll bar appeared.

Etelle Shur

The page I'm including is equal to about 7 paragraphs of lorem ipsum. It's a how-to article, so it includes a numbered list with some short paragraphs and a few images. Confluence rates it as a 2 minute read. I've also created a testing page with 1 paragraph of lorem ipsum that also gets a scroll bar

Include Page scroll bar steps to reproduce:

Create page with content to be included
Create page where content will be included
On second page, use Include Page macro and choose the page from step 1.
Publish

Note: I get a vertical scroll bar whether the second page has other content on it or not.

Excerpt scroll bar steps to reproduce:

Insert an Excerpt macro on a page. Copy and paste OR type content into the Excerpt macro.
Publish

A vertical scroll bar appears next to the content in the excerpt macro, even when the content is only one line

@Etelle Shur this is not how include page works. This shouldn't happen. Can you please try from another browser and/or clear your browser's cache and cookies? Do you have any extension enabled in your browser? Are any other of your colleagues experiencing that?

Etelle Shur

@Alex Koxaras -Relational-It seems it could be browser-related. The scroll bars don't show when viewing the page in Chrome, but both my colleague and I see the scroll bars in Firefox.

In Firefox, I've tried disabling all extensions, clearing my cache and cookies, and restarting the browser.

The solution is for Atlassian product managers and support leadership to look at issues like this that mess with high visibility aesthetics and layout and presentation of information, in a product that's intended primarily to present information, and then assess the level of development effort required to fix it -- 10 min? 12? -- and the fact that it's SO obvious it SHOULD be caught in QA, and conclude that it should be fixed right now. I mean, this kind of thing is brand-affecting.
