Scroll section-by-section via the scrollbar
I just booted up my 512K Macintosh and opened MacWrite. I put enough text to make two pages worth, then dragged the thumb (which doesn't change size and has the page number labeled on it) to the top of the document. I then click/held 3/4 of the way down the scroll bar. MacWrite showed me a screen at a time until it got to the thumb. This is a different effect than what is being described in this thread. All MacWrite was doing was displaying each screen full until it got to where I clicked. If I clicked and dragged the thumb, the document did not follow me.
Scroll section-by-section via the scrollbar
Interesting that Panther's Finder doesn't scroll the same way Safari does. Finder only lets me use this tip in one direction, but Safari lets me drag both up AND down to scroll. In Safari and Mail, I can stray from the vertical scroll area, left or right, and it'll stop scrolling, but as soon as I stray back into the vertical scroll area, the scrolling resumes. Try it: click in the scroll area, beneath the "gumdrop", and then drag as you draw a big circle around the gumdrop. [I always thought of it as an elevator, not a gumdrop, til OSX]. I guess that drawing the circle'd be easier if you have a narrow window [or 2 monitors, like me]. |
