Greetings,
The problem is this.  On each page, onewill see the title of some article at
the bottom right. And that title and maybe 2  introductory lines are at the
bottom of that page. But the rest of that article is continued  on another
page. that is how the site gets you to  open more pages.  that  opening of
more screens used to be accomplished via the "page down keystroke"--but now
that no longer works in 331. So you are right in that everything on the
first page is  buffered--but not beyond that first page.
to get beyond that original page, you have to  do something--formerly the
pagedown--to move beyond to  another screen. The only choices are to abandon
Virtual cursor (and then pagedown works) or go on a  fishing  expedition to
find whatever link might  correspond to the next screen. On a page I  just
visited, there were 8 links named "Continued"  any of which could have been
that nice next screen where most of the article I wanted to read was hiding.
This is a real problem and costs wasted time and effort.
All  I  am saying is that we need the functionality of the "downarrow" to
also work in Virtual cursor.
I did find  the articles I wanted to read, but  it was  not efficient.
persistence won over time saved.
This lack of "pagedown" is annoying. The buffering only helps you on the
intro page--but the rest of the articles remain hidden on subsequent
screens. That is my point.
