It has a scrollbar. If I play with it, as in put the cursor toward the middle of the slider, it does work. It's not as easy as Motif or GTK-2 are. I think this is an attempt by GUI developers to use one code base for mobile, notebook, and desktop. Compromises that are clunky at best. Have you tried scrolling using the wheel? It might "magically" appear. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
