Scroll section-by-section via the scrollbar
Authored by: osxpounder on Jun 03, '05 12:40:50PM

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].

Liked that option tip, too. Now I can leave my scroll settings to "page at a time" and still option click to the top of my very full Mail viewer window. Nice, thanks!
