Scroll section-by-section via the scrollbar
Authored by: Mike A on Jun 02, '05 12:29:34PM

This does not work in Panther. What the author is describing is the process of dragging the mouse in the unoccupied area of the scroll bar. Under Panther, you could click in the scroll area and it would jump to the next page/jump to where you clicked. However, dragging caused the page to jump to wherever you were dragging.

Under Tiger it will still jump to the next page. However, if you then drag in this area, the page will change view only one page at a time.

This has always worked as far as I know. For a while, at least, we have had a choice in Appearance preferences whether to "jump to next page" or "jump to here" when clicking or option+clicking on the scroll bar areas. This is no cryptic behavior.
