Thank you for this post. I REALLY wish Palm would publish bug reports. It
drives me crazy to spend days finding problems that other developers have
already found and reported.
One important reason for Palm to publish these bugs is that a bug fix in
the latest version of the ROMs does NOT solve the problem for 3rd party
developers. While Palm can ignore users with older devices, we 3rd party
developers cannot. These users represent a large market for our software.
An additional scrollbar bug I just discovered is:

Subject: PalmOS 3.3: Bug in text field scrolling code
Date: 1999-10-26
In the built-in applications (Memo Pad, Todo, Datebook, Address), the
scrollbar does not operate properly under certain conditions. Tapping
in the "page up" section of the scrollbar does not scroll by a full
page.
To demonstrate this error, create a memo with 30 lines of text. Press
the stylus on the end of the 12th line and drag to the end of the
memo. The field will auto-scroll. Enter a backspace character to
delete the text. This should leave only the 12th line visible at
the top of the display with 9 blank lines below. Tapping in the
"page up" section of the scrollbar only scrolls by 1 line even though
there are many more lines of text to scroll in.
Repeating this test by dragging from the 14th line to the end will
cause the page up to move 3 lines on each tap.
