In answer to C.G.O. and Mary, yes, it scrolls perfectly well with browsers,
Word, Excel etc. and I was testing it out on a family with 12 children.

Unfortunately, I'm out of suggestions — although it sounded quite similar,
obviously the problem you're having isn't the same as the one I had.

Support and the programmers will need to look at this – Scrolling in List mode
works for some but not others …

Don: Good rigorous protocol.
What you are recommending is much like establishing the provenance for artwork.
You always source the last known source. Then you trace it back each step of
the way to its origin. Tedious? Yes. But much more accurate than the sloppiness
found in some genealogy.
1. Yes, I can scroll in other apps.
2. I was looking specifically at cases with more children than show on the
screen.
I originally had it set to show 2 columns and have now decided I like the 3
columns, so that takes care of most of the families with a lot of children.
