Scroll section-by-section via the scrollbar
Authored by: MJCube on Jun 03, '05 12:00:15AM

Regular jumping by screenful (equivalent to the Page Up and Down keys) has been a feature of scroll bars since even before Macintosh: the Xerox Star and probably even earlier.

But this hint is about a more specific behavior. Used to be, when the scroll thumb (gumdrop) reached the arrow cursor, scrolling would stop until you released the mouse and clicked elsewhere. But now you can continue to drag away from the gumdrop and get more of the same jump-scrolling.
