Word 2008 scroll bar jump behavior

[jeffreyjay]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Normally when clicking in an app's scroll bar "space", not on the scroll button itself, the scroll bar jumps to that position and the document jumps to the corresponding page. In Word 08 this is not happening. The scroll button jumps but the document remains in the same position until you slightly move the scroll button itself. Can't find a Preference to deal with this. Is this a bug, intended, am I missing something?

Thanks

I suspect this is a manifestation of the Spaces/Expose bug that they are
working on.

It is a bug. If you turn off Spaces, it should come right. There will be a
fix, as soon as it is ready.

Cheers

My Spaces is disabled already. I tried turning it on and then off but didn't change anything. But it feels like a bug and if they're working on something, hopefully it will fix the behavior. It's not a huge thing but an irritant.

Thanks for your response!

Yes, I've noticed this bug as well, and I've never enabled Spaces on my MacBook 2.1 GHz, 120GB, 1GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.2. I've reported it via Feedback in the hopes for a fix.
