Hello Andrew!

In the last episode of "Re: Scrolling", Andrew was saying to Phil:

 DS>> When scrolling through text, using the arrow keys, my program falls
 DS>> behind the input buffer, causing the annoying effect of scrolling
 DS>> after the key has been released.

 AG> Just shows, people can get jobs who don't know what they are doing. I
 AG> blame the personell departments for this, but I'd blame QA if only
 AG> there was one :-(

Probably if some people were to report this a "bug" rather than
pointing fingers and making the fruitless exercise of placing blame, the
programmers et al would take notice. However, when even the editors used by
the programmers exhibit this symptom, it would be natural to presume that
emptying the buffer is a perfectly normal and expected behaviour.  There
are times when I find this "feature" rather helpful... other
times it is annoying behaviour.  Perhaps a user-selectable setup option to
select the buffer?????

Groeten, Richard
