Minimized documents enlarge when mouse passes over
Whenever I accidently move the insertion point (scroll with mouse) over one of the Word documents I have minimized in the screen's lower bar, all the minimized Word documents duplicate themselves above the bar in much larger size than they are in the bar. They become one inch tall and 2 inches wide. Moving the mouse away from them doesn't help, I have to hit the Esc (Escape) key to get rid of them, so that once again they are only inside the bar, in their proper original size of 1/4 inch tall. I have Windows 10, and MS Office Home & Student 2019, on a MS Surface Laptop circa 2021 At the same time as this started, another unwanted feature started, on G-Mail: The left side column which before listed "Inbox," "Sent," etc. is now cut down to only 1 inch wide, so I can't see the words Inbox, Sent, unless I mouse roll over them.Next closing-button to move under the cursor, after closing a tab
A short narrative: You are bingeing on information on the Internet, depth-first, vising page after another, leaving a trail of 10-20 tabs on the way. Then, you are done, and now start closing the tabs. For whatever reason, you prefer mouse, start hitting those ×'es. When there are too many tabs (>6 on a 1080p monitor with 100% scaling), you can rapidly click on your mouse to close one tab after another. This is possible, because the tabs had shrunk in size to fit to the screen's width, and they grow back as much as they can as you close some tabs. This activity provides a brief moment of joy to many users I believe; it does to me at least. It's a good UX, imo. The joy ends when the number of remaining open tabs drops low enough. Then, you sadly have to hunt for the closing buttons, or switch to keyboard, rapidly click on W instead, holding CTRL. This is slightly a bad UX, imo. There are browsers that employ some neat tricks that brings the tab-closing-button of some still-open tab underneath the user's cursor. Safari is one of them, with tabs spanning always the whole window-width. Internet Explorer also is! See the animation I've prepared demonstrating this: This is persistently the good UX, and never the bad UX, so I personally would like to have it. IE's way is not the only, evident from the fact that there's the Safari. I can think of ways different from both, even. So, take this just as a sample, and perhaps find something else, better! I will be abandoning this suggestion and unsubscribing from discussion, as soon I post it. I apologize for not replying to any responses. Thank you for reading, Utkan
Mouse Horizontal Scroll Support
Hello! I have the kind of mouse that has a scroll wheel which also clicks left or right to scroll horizontally. Excel is the only application (including all Office apps) that doesn't let me use the horizontal scroll wheel. Is there a way to turn it on? Or a fix that would get Excel to recognize the input? The current method of scrolling horizontally works okay, but it will take a long time to get used to because I don't know any other application where it's ever been that way. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
