Re: Calendar view scroll position resets after module switching

It's Outlook 2007. The problem is that I don't make such appointments often
enough to adjust work time settings. And I use a view without a to-do bar and
I assume it's a supported configuration otherwise you shouldn't allow user to
hide it.

One simple question: Is there any rational reason for resetting the scroll
position in outlook?

Thank you,
Oleg
