Dear Peter,

Many thanks for your reply.
System.Text was just an example.
The page number is: bottom portion of 30 and top portion of 31.
You are very correct. ET has a good behavior wrt scrolling.
Still, never able to go to the first line of a Text only with MR click.


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
