  When I create a folder and setup the Live folder option "Show documents", and then in QAP try to view this folder and its documents, I get a long list showing the documents. So far so good. But the mouse wheel FAILS to scroll through this long list, making it almost useless, and forcing me to use arrow keys to scroll, slowing me down. Why does the mouse wheel fail to scroll though a long list of documents accessed in a folder link with Live folder option set to "Show documents"?

  When the content of the menu is longer than the height of your screen, Windows (not QAP) insert arrows at the top and bottom of the menu to scroll to the previous/next items in the menu. You can click these buttons with the mouse or use Up/Down keys.
  
  Solutions to avoid these "too long menus" with Live Folders are:
  - use filters to include or exclude file types (by their extensions or using wildcards)
  - reduce the size of icons in this menu
  These options are under the "Live Folder Options".
  
  For regular menus (but not Live Folders), you can reduce the height of the menu using column breaks to split your menu in more than one column.

  Thankyou for that reply Jean. So it is a windows 11 issue stopping mouse wheel scrolling?
  I will look into some other options you so kindly suggested.

  I think it has always been like that when menus are taller than the screen. But not sure...

  I can't view documents in my Live Library. I am using Windows 10.
