Re: scrolling

Arlo,
Could the scrolling problem you describe be related to the (not new) 
problem where the whole scroll bar isn't present (the bottom arrow is 
missing or turned sideways)?  For the last several versions whenever I 
open a local document I've had to use the green "maximize" button (in 
the upper left corner) to readjust the window so that the scroll bar 
works correctly.  (Adjusting using the little triangle in the bottom 
right corner also works.) If I open View Source, I have to apply this 
procedure again in order to get the correct scroll bars and arrows.

Arlo, can you check when this happens and see if the scroll bars & 
arrows are all present and accounted for?

BTW, I've reported this before, but it never got added to the bug list, 
so I assumed it was related to this bug:
MAC003  The document is not scrolled when the selection is extended with 
the mouse (Mac and Windows problem)  reported	2005-06

If it isn't related to that bug, what additional information is required 
in order to add it to the list?  It happens consistently for local 
documents on my Mac G4 OS 10.4.11 Amaya 10.0.1 in both 800x600 and 
1024x768 resolutions.

I eventually got used to having to readjust the windows all the time, 
but it certainly would be nice if it worked correctly.

Thanks,
Lucinda
P.S. I haven't had the keyboard input problems you describe.
