Thanks for that feedback, I wasn't aware of the right mouse button doing that. It appears to work for me, but it scrolls exactly the number of items visible in the window, which is a bit disconcerting as I don't know if I've skipped over anything. Is there any way to scroll smoothly one row at a time without a scroll wheel?
