Graph display doesn't update when the navigation scroll bar is used
When the navigation scroll bar is used, the graph display doesn't update until the user lets go of the scroll bar. This behavior feels "old"; nearly all modern interfaces update continuously when scrolling. I know Highstock is capable of this, because if you grab the graph and drag, the display updates immediately.

We’ve implemented this for the next release, with a default value of enabled for SVG browsers and disabled for VML browsers

Is this being worked on? This is a major requirement in stock charting packages, web-based or standalone. I would agree with the original poster that it feels "old". Here's an example of syncronised scrolling and which is smooth even in IE : https://www.google.com/finance?q=aapl

I agree with Kyle. Grab and drag works.
Why doesn't dragging the scroll bar work in the same way?

I'll try to answer your questions here, but first of all please note that tech support should be asked in the forum. UserVoice is the place for feature requests like this topic's title suggests.
1. Scrollbar to the right. In stock charts, people are most interested in the most current values. Hence the right alignment. Use max and range to put it left: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/nvMzh/2/
3. Thanks for your input. Currently Highcharts doesn't adapt the displayed range to the number of points.
4. Title and subtitle. I can't comment this, not example given.
5. Some features are delivered with the basic package, others are delivered the extended package. It's a common business model.
6. Your example is running from our GitHub master repo. You might want to try the latest stable version instead.

It's fast enough in IE8 when you use one other famous charting solution which I won't name here, so you could easily have implemented it. I feel that not much effort is put into the scrolling feature, it's pretty much neglected. You simply think people don't want charts with scrolling.
However, what I need is:
let's count the issues:
- initially scrollbar is aligned to the right. (why?) also, this should be configurable and start on the left by default
- content not displayed while scrolling
- xAxis: { min: x } is just simply stupid and unuseful with bar charts. the number of visible bars should depend on the width of the chart, for example you want to scale the chart to the double, it should show twice as much or maybe less because of some resizing of the bars (this should also be configurable)
- title and subtitle is screwed so bad when chart is scaled..
- why isn't there scollbar available when using highchart.js?
- when chart gets scaled, scrollbar get frozen forever -
Currently most browsers aren't capable of doing this fast enough, so it results in the scroll bar feeling unresponsive. Chrome may do it fast enough, but if you try it for example in IE8, you'll see the problem.
