sluggish scrolling

[Diane Gaskill]

Regarding FM making you wait until the action is complete, it sounds like FM
needs to emulate DOS (remember DOS?) a little.   "Are you sure?"

Actually, some of the WinNT apps (file manager, for example) have a switch
that you can set to either ask for confirmation or not.  That little switch
saved me many times.  Ah, for the good olde days.

What would be really good is if we could either edit maker.ini or have an
item to the preferences menu that globally set confirmation on or off.  And
while were changing the preferences menu, let's add a "verbose" toggle
switch too.  That would help FM newbies a lot, assuming that the FM
developers or TWs put some decent docs in there.

All IHMO of course.

This is a Windoze bug IMNSHO. It happens in other apps as well. e.g.
M$ Excel. I don't have a wheel mouse, but clicking above or below the
slide on the vertical scroll bar has the same effect some times when
scrolling big tables or web pages. I thought XP had done with this,
but It happened for me just the other day again.

If anyone knows better, please correct me.

What I am more annoyed about is the fact that if you have a huge
collection of files in a book, and accidentally choose all the files
in the book file window, there is no quick escaping it. You just have
to wait. Adobe should add a cancel option to this and some more
actions, e.g. by hitting CTRL-C or CTRL-D (UNIX-wise) or the ESC or
maybe SHIFT-ESC.

I am working on several books containing somewhere between 100 and 200
files and this gets very annoying.

something horribly wrong. I'm doing a lot of work in an FM document that
includes a 75-page long table, landscape format. When I use the mouse wheel
to scroll from page to page, the response is mostly pretty jerky - scrolls
slow then jumps a couple of pages. It's fine on other documents.
