ReportViewer 2012 Scroll Bars

I am using ReportViewer 2012 to display reports from a report server.

If the report is larger than the display window scroll bars appear however in Internet Explorer 11 they are in the wrong place as they are sized to the whole of the iframe. As a result the vertical scroll bar includes the parameter tool bar and the horizontal Scroll bar does not appear until you scroll the bottom of the report into view.

If I run the app using Chrome the scroll bars are shown correctly.

How can I fix this so the scroll bars appear in the correct place in IE 11?

Hi Ewan,

Based on your screenshots, the horizontal scroll bar is not showing in IE 11. Right?

It has reported a lot of incompatibility issue in IE 11. One workaround is change the X-UA-Compatible meta tag. It allows web authors to choose what version of Internet Explorer the page should be rendered as. You can change it like this: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />. Please refer to the similar threads below:
