  Michael,
  
  I didn't provide a way to turn off the smooth scrolling. If it bugs enough people, I'll add an option in the configuration dialog. I know you may be thinking, "Well, can't you just add the option? It shouldn't take long to code it." The issue (as always) is that code changes need testing to make make sure they work with the software in all sorts of situations. Also, option mean mdofying the configuration dialog and adding support so the new option is written to (and read from) the registry so the changes are persistent every time you start the IDE.
  
  It's not "hard" to do, but it needs to be something that enough people find useful. If you've ever looked at the configuration dialog for the freeware image viewer IrfanView, you'll see what it looks like when every possible option is added. Great program - impossibly complex configuration dialog.
  

  Thanks, PeterM

  Thanks for the reply Peter, I'm pleased to find out it wasn't just me, or my laptop.
  
  Believe me, I have no illusions regarding how involved a 'simple' change is to software, and I certainly wouldn't expect a new release just to add a scroll setting.
  
  On a different note, the new IDE still has the issue (probably only with *my* laptop) that the touch pad scroll bar events only get seen by the last file opened. A mouse scroll wheel works fine on any of the open files, but on the laptop touch pad, only the most recently opened file gets the scroll events. If you could track that down and fix it, you would really be a hero in my book. [noparse]:)[/noparse] It would make my 'road show' much easier.

  Peter,
  While your taking suggestions... [noparse][[/noparse]ha ha ha]
  It would be nice if FIND [noparse][[/noparse]Ctrl-F] would work when viewing a file listing [noparse][[/noparse]Ctrl-L].
  Right now when you use Ctrl-F it searches in the original file.
  
  Bean.

  Michael and Bean,
  
  I think the CTRL-F working properly in the listing window would make a lot of sense (Heck, it bugs me too!). Also, I saw an old request from Michael about having an option to use ALT-A instead of CTRL-A (for those who are used to CTRL-A being "select all") to invoke the assembler. I'm not saying it'll happen for sure, but they both seem lgical to me.
  

  Thanks, PeterM
