Could I add my two bob's worth, as a long-time Mac & Calc user. I am assuming the following was written by Michael (who is receiving this in copy), even though I found it in Rory's message:

By far the most annoying bug from 4.0 was the scrollbar issue. As mentioned, with large spreadsheets, scrolling down very far caused it to be very difficult to return up. You could do it, but it would go very slowly. It would not let you drag the bar up as quickly as you wanted. You could scroll up with the middle mouse wheel but that would take forever with the size of documents I'm talking about ....

Are you familiar with the Cmd+arrow (up or down) key combination? I've found this to be by far the fastest way to scroll up and down long spreadsheets, as it brings up (or down) the last empty or filled cell.

Alternatively, if you want to scroll "to a certain point", you can simply click once to select any cell, and then keep the required arrow pressed until you reach the desired cell. Or you can use the "Find" command to locate any cell with given data.

In fact, your point made me realise I never use the scrollbar! :-)

Hope this helps a bit,
