Tip Navigation Pane Scroll Bounce -- Access 2007

[gbnz]

I am making this a tip but if someone else has a better solution please comment.

System Description:

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Office 2007

The issue is when you scroll the navigation pane down (or up) the whole menu list, once you stop the scroll, will jump at least 3 spaces in the opposite way. This is very annoying!!
It seems to happen after loading Office 2007 SP2 or SP3. I have noticed that there is a hotfix from Microsoft for 32bit Operating Systems but I have been unable to find one for a 64bit OS.

The solution is (or the cause is) what is set for the "Text Size" in the Display settings. All Control Panel Items>Display "Make it easier to read what's on your screen" If it is set to Medium - 125% the menu items will jump. If it is set to Smaller - 100%(default) then the menu will not jump. I like the 125% setting because I am older and can read things on the computer easier and keep the resolution at the recommended level for my Wide Screen Monitors.

So here is where a decision has to be made. Either you go with the 125% and deal with the jumping Nave Pane or change it to 100% and your Monitor Resolution to one that is comfortable to use. Except you lose some crispness (for lack of a better term) because you have set your monitors up with a resolution that is not recommended.

The easiest solution is to change the VIEW BY from DETAILS to LIST.

I did try all three types and although the bounce wasn't as bad it still did it for me

I know this is old thread, but I have this issue and cannot fix it any way

I have Windows 8 and Office 2007 SP3 installed.
Resolution of the y laptop screen is 3200x1080, so had to set display to 200%.
After that navigation pane in Access keeps jumping when scrolled.
I noticed that pane elements are far from each other, like the space between them wasn't scaled properly.

I don't want to lower the resolution, what most of people would suggest.

Has this been fixed since last post?

Hi phinix,

Sorry I am not too sure about Windows 8 but the only fix for the Navigation Pane jump that I have found in Windows 7 is on the "Make it easier to read what's on your screen" is to keep it set to "Smaller = 100% (default)"

Yep, this is exactly what I found on internet - keeping it at 100% fixes everything.
Only problem is that it is hard to read anything at 4K resolution
