Has anyone else had this problem with MPW 3.0: when scrolling through either a document or the worksheet by using the "pageDown" area, the thumb stops some ways from the bottom and further clicking in the page down area doesn't have any effect. Grabbing the thumb and pushing the down arrow work fine. If this is a general bug with MPW 3.0, no big deal. If it's just my copy, I'd be curious to know. Any e-mail would be appreciated.

Grabbing the thumb and pushing the down arrow work fine. I would call this not a bug but a 'feature'. :-) Scrolling via the page down area or arrow stops when the bottom of the file is in the window. You can get the bottom higher with the thumb, but I suppose the idea is that if you know where the bottom is you can still see a lot of the rest of the file. I am neutral on this one. Sometimes I appreciate it, sometimes I'm caught short by it. I don't think it is important enough to change. /JBL = UUCP: {backbone}!bbn!levin POTS: (617) 873-3463 INTERNET: levin@bbn.com

It's good to know it's not something weird at my end. Still, it seems a bit against the guidelines, to "disable" the page down area or the scroll bar. Wouldn't a better way be to just make it so that when the last line of text of your file comes into view, the thumb hits the bottom of the scroll bar? I ain't gonna sweat about it though. :-> Robert ------ ra_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu ------ generic disclaimer: all my opinions are mine
