FarscrollContrib

Clone a scrollbar far away

Summary

This simple plugin enhances elements that have a overflowing fixed width but no fixed height, the ones with the horizontal scrollbar like pre. If the element overlaps the page fold the scrollbar is not visible. With this Plugin a cloned scrollbar is positioned over the element when needed.
