Scroll bar not behaving as expected

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a line chart that presents monthly data from 2001 to 2014 and it's set to show only 12 values, so I have a scroll bar that allows the user to move back. I need the position of the scroll bar to be always 2014 so I 've set the "Reversed" option on presentation tab. However, whenever I remove a filter (any filter) the scroll bar gets back to a random year when it should be always on the right side of the chart, pointing to 2014.

Does anyone knows why the scroll bar is behaving like this?

Any ideas are welcome!

Thank you all.

Have you tried checking the box for 'Preserve Scroll Position' on the layout tab of the properties menu?

Yes, it didn't work. The scroll bar keeps moving back to random years when I clean a filter.

It may be a bug of some form. Does it do this on a local development version and on the QV Server?

Yes, it happens on both situations.

Just thinking that if you had a different developer version vs. server version that it may be a bug in one but not the other. Wish I could help you.

This is listed as a fixed bug in v11.2 SR8
