Hi Scott,

This bug has been fixed (scroll bar problems).  The "5.1.1" version
number was only used because Apple's software update can only handle
numeric version numbers (this from the company that championed
alphanumeric characters in vers strings).  We wanted it to be 5.1b2 but
they said it wasn't possible.

The way to tell which build you are running is to look at the build
number.  The first Preview Release was IE 5.1b1 (5502).  The second
preview release was build 5.1b1 (3408).  Yes, the second number is
smaller, but it is the newer version.  The final release will be
something like "5.1 (35XX)."

Oh yeah, these numbers are in the IE about box.

First: Is the newest public version of IE for OSX called IE5.1b1 (as the

about box says), or IE 5.1.1 as the Get Info box in the Finder says.

Either way, I'm using that version, and on this page (ironically)...

...I can't use the mouse to operate the vertical scrollbar. However, I 
can use the arrow keys.
