Visio 2013 - Scrollbar in "All Pages" list

I'm working on some PowerShell automation and transforming XML objects into simple rectangles with text for each property to document a system and how the objects reference each other.

I have 100+ pages in a single file.  While navigating through the pages, I noticed that the scrollbar in the "All Pages" list showed it was at the top of the list when you first click "All" on the bottom right to make the list display.  It didn't matter if I was on page 100 and there were 99 pages before 100. The list would show my current page at the top (which is fine), but the scroll bar also displayed at the top as if there were no pages before page 100.

Once you begin to scroll, click up/down, etc. in the list, it will refresh itself and display correctly.

At first, I thought this might be due to me adjusting the page.Index property via PowerShell, but that does not seem to be the case.  I can duplicate this issue starting with a blank template and creating around 30+ pages (the list seems to show 28 at a time given my window size and screen resolution).

With 50 empty pages, I can go to page 22 (one page above the top of the list) and then click "All" again and it will show page 22 at the top with page 49 at the bottom, yet the scrollbar shows it's at the top of the list.

I've tried to save and re-open the file and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I don't know if it even bothers anyone, but it seems very misleading as if my pages are missing and disturbs my OCD greatly.

Hi FIMTooler,

I tested your doubt in my own environment, I created 50 blank pages in Visio, and I got the same result as shown in the following figure.

I suppose this behavior is by design, and I find this is a new option in Visio 2013. Maybe in later versions MS will improve this option, you can look forward to it.

Hope its helpful.
