Nonstandard Scrolling in Advanced Tools | Tracks Eraser

[Ian E]

Just wanted to advise that the list of Erasable Tracks
does not behave in the normal manner when one tries to
scroll it.

Specifically, when you click in the trough above/below
the thumb, it only scrolls about 1/8th of a page (or
about 1 1/2 items) rather than a full page, which is the
accepted behaviour.

In addition, the Page Up, Page Down, Home & End buttons
are completely unrecognized, even when you specifically
try to place focus in the list.

And, it is not possible to scroll the list using the
wheel on a Microsoft (TM) Mouse. (It doesn't work using
a Logitech Mouse either).

I also find that scrolling & item selection in the
Running Processes list is also non-standard.

- Page Up, Page Down, Home & End don't work
- You cannot move from item to item in the list using the
cursor keys
- The mouse wheel does not scroll the list

However, clicking in the trough above / below the thumb
does cause the list to scroll a page at a time.

Because this product was not developed by another Company, you cannot expect
them to adhere to interface standards of true Microsoft product, you can
expect these issues to be fixed beta 2.

The interface standards are there are all companies, not just Microsoft. As
it happens, Microsoft probably follows them the closest, with the exception
of this Microsoft product at this point in time. Yes I am aware that it's
an acquisition.

Back in the old days it always took 3 releases before a Microsoft product
came into its own - had a combination of useful functionality & eliminated
all of the bugs. I point to MS-DOS and Windows itself as examples. (MS-DOS
1 & 2 sucked; MS-DOS 3.0 & 3.1 were the first good versions). Similarly
with Windows.

I am only hoping that we can push them to get a good product faster.

Like Steve Dodson has said expect changes in future releases.
