PageUp/PageDown in TextPad

Once I had a minor issue in TextPad. Scrolling up/down with the PgUp/PgDn keys did not move the cursor, it just moved the view of the file.

If I scrolled away and pressed any other key, then the screen jumped back to the position where it was before the scrolling. The solution: the standard behaviour (where PgUp/PgDn moves the cursor as well) can be changed to this annoying one by activating the ScrollLock on the keyboard. Smile It took me quite some time to figure this out (usually I do not care about the ScrollLock state) ... so I thought I should write this down somewhere. Smile

Thank you Thank you

Scroll-Lock - who would have guessed!
This was driving me absolutely nuts.

Thanks again.

Wrong behavior

Thanks for posting this. I don't think I would have figured out it was Scroll Lock.

I had turned on scroll lock because I wanted the text to scroll when I pressed Up or Down arrows, for a certain task I was doing. That's the expected behavior for Scroll Lock, but TextPad isn't doing that.

textpad position cursor in viewable area

thanks. I'm sure I had this problem a few years ago and I'd forgotten the solution!
