Yes, seriously, and I do see the point. You move the text with the scrollbar, so why does the text move into the opposite direction of the scrollbar? You have a good point though that the bar indicates the position and behaves like that.

They keep changing how the input devices for the console and X11 are configured all the time, but you can´t even configure the scrollbars yet.

And emacs has the scrollbar on the left, so why bother with vi? :P -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
