    Default Scrolling text boxes

    There doesn't seem to be a way to add a scroll bar to your text boxes - not that I'd want one there the whole time, but if a browser resizes the text and it doesn't fit, then the text box should become scrollable. I must be missing something because this is a real deal-breaker, and I can't be the only one wondering how to get around this problem. Any suggestions?

    Xara is still a WYSIWYG product so scrolling text boxes are not part of the mix.

    I, however, had advised a solution in https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...448#post536448.

    There are lots of CSS examples here: https://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_scrollbars.cfm. You need to understand how Xara delivers text though.

    I rolled my own in CSS - Scrolling Text Box.xar.
