re: the doc writer(s) weren't thinking about scrollbars when they wrote the text you quoted
In my neck of the professional Software Development world, the tech writers take direction from the engineering department on which major subjects and associated details need to go into the manuals, then use their wordsmithing skills to make it palatable to the general audience for whatever type of document they're writing. It would be rare for there to be a complete disconnect between the gang developing the features, and those documenting them. I still say it was an oversight. I don't think there is a way it could be proven either way, without input from the original development team, or access to the design documents. At this stage of the game, it doesn't make much difference, other than the fact that the promise of a Dynamic User Interface capability remains unfulfilled. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
