Automap: Scrolling Outside Overview Area Does Not Pan Map

PSS ID Number: Q135676 Article last modified on 04-30-1996

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

In the Automap products listed at the top of this article, you have trouble panning maps in the Map window.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When you zoom out all the way in the Map window and click the Overview Window option, the cursor appears as the move symbol. The move symbol has doesn’t do anything if the map is in full view and no area of the map is available to pan.

When you are in the same zoom position, if the left mouse button is clicked in the center of the Overview window, an outline appears that makes the Window look like it can be panned.

The behavior continues until the mouse cursor travels outside of the Overview window and becomes a circle with a slash through it (a “no” symbol). When the mouse button is released the outline disappears.

Expected Behavior
Normally, the red Area Rectangle can be moved within the Overview window allowing you to pan to unseen areas.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Automap product listed at the top of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
