The "thumb" in the scroll bar of a window changes length to be proportional to how much of the document is visible in the window. For example, if you can see a third of the present document in the window, the scroll bar will fill a third of its scroll region. In Mac OS 9 and earlier, the scroll thumb stays the same length. I don't know how to turn off the proportional feature in X, but I've never really tried to do so either because I like proportional scroll thumbs. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be September 23.
