I suggest you investigate the settings for your pad. A scroll area on a
touchpad is not new. I had a laptop, and not an expensive one at the
time, in 2006 where the touch pad could be configured to have a
scrolling area.

It's behaving very oddly for me.
For starters, I can only get the child list to scroll at all if I have
the Mother, rather than the father, selected.
No problem here.
As for the scrolling ... I've noticed that if you have more children than
shown, it scrolls up and down to view the other children; otherwise it scrolls
left and right to see more columns.

I originally had it set to show 2 columns and have now decided I like the 3

I can't scroll the grid either except with the
scroll bar. It's not for me a viable alternative
since you can't see all the children at once.
I'm experimenting with using Descendant View
limited to 2 or 3 generations instead of the mouseover information.
