System Preference?
Authored by: ret on Jun 25, '02 03:01:09AM

Is there something about this hint I'm missing? The "General" page of the System Preferences has a pair of radio buttons to choose what happens when you click in the scroll bars, eg:

Click on a scroll bar to:
o Jump to next page
o Scroll to here

Option-click does the opposite of your preference. It sounds like your anonymous tipster has the 'scroll-to-here' option as his default. And it's not limited to Cocoa apps, as near as I can tell. IE certainly exhibits the appropriate behaviour for your prefs and modifier keys.

cheers

just try click and hold with option and move it SLOW!! now try without option. See a difference? If not, go have a few beers you will see a difference.
