Server scrolling with touchpads

    The only way I am able to see the discs for servers which are neither in the top page-worth of discs nor in the bottom page-worth of discs is to press Ctrl-minus several times to zoom all the way out. At some point, the discs are all small enough that I can see the disc that represents the server I'm interested in. I can then click it and press Ctrl-zero to reset zoom.

    If I hit the zoom limit and still cannot see the entire list of server discs, I need to right-click the Desktop, go to Display Options, and rotate the video output temporarily to Portrait, go find the server disc I'm looking for, then restore the video output rotation back to standard Landscape. It's pretty disruptive to background programs doing this, though, and often dislodges toolbars from window borders, etc.

    Really, the server list frame needs to have a scrollbar just like the channel/chatlog/user frames have each got scrollbars. It seems to me most likely that the software testers were using a small number of test servers on large, high-resolution monitors and therefore never noticed that the server list frame neglects to spawn a scrollbar when its content exceeds its bounds.

    There is a way to scroll up and down on the touchpad by having your cursor over the server bar, then splitting two fingers in the opposite directions to each other. But this is very hard to do and I prefer to just use my touchscreen or find a mouse.

    This sounds like it is something OS- or driver-specific and probably involves enabling such "gestures" in a proprietary Control Panel that was deployed by your OEM in your specific case. So while I don't doubt such digital gymnastics have a chance of working in your specific setup, I doubt they will work for anybody else. My method of zooming out should be independent of such things. The developers simply fixing the GUI to include functional, standard scrollbars for all the frames capable of spilling content is the only solution that will work across the board.
