Python Spyder - Horizontal scrollbar in IPython console hiding the last line

[EkaterinaAbramova]

Problem Description

A horizontal bar appears in Spyder and that does not allow to see last line in Console.
Sometimes also can't scroll up to move the code in the console up thus can't see the last line at all.

What steps reproduce the problem?

Just open Spyder and you'll see it straight away at the bottom of Console. Horizontal side bar.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Want to see the last line. / Want to scroll up.
Can't see the last line. / Sometimes can't scroll up so last line is fully hidden by horizontal slide bar.

Versions

• Python version: Python 3.10.4 64-bit
• Qt version: 5.15.2
• PyQt version: 5 5.15.7
• Operating System name/version: Mac Ventura 13.2.1 / Darwin 22.3.0

Hi @EkaterinaAbramova thank you for the feedback! Do you have by any chance some code that we could use to reproduce this locally?

Any new info that could help us better understand and reproduce this is greatly appreciated!

It seems to happen when I press the up button to get previously executed commands. I can’t give you anything specific because it randomly comes on. If I notice any other patterns I’ll let you know. Just get rid of that horizontal scroll bar please.

Thank you for the extra info @EkaterinaAbramova ! I tried to reproduce this but I'm not seeing a horizontal scrollbar in the Console, so maybe the scrollball is appearing due to some specific output that is breaking the default text wrapping that the console does 🤔

So for the moment there is not much we can do but ones we have a reproducible example we could most probably do something to prevent that.

I've seen that Qtconsole displays a horizontal scrollbar under some circumstances, although I don't remember how that happens. But we'll take a look at this and see if we can fix it in future release.

I see this too from time to time; it seems to go away after slightly adjusting the width of the console window to be narrower
