If you build a lot in Knack, you have probably noticed that sometimes the bottom scroll bar on data tables doesn't appear. I'm not sure if that is a Knack thing or browser thing. Regardless, it is extremely frustrating and awkward trying to navigate around your table without a scroll bar. Well, the other day I posted this issue on our Knack builder Slack group, and Carl Holmes came back with a super simple fix, that got a bunch of us builders exited to have this resolved. Check it out.
