OK, Michael Fixed this one.

Yes, i suggest to simply remove the "Stop Autoscroll" menu item and
all is fine.

IMHO its OK if an menu action (and any other user action) stop the
autoscroll. In most cases the user do not wan't the autoscroll after
calling an menu item (Find, Goto To, Libary.. ) and for the other
cases (calling the Options or the Page Details) its IMHO OK if the
user need to hit "Start Autoscroll again."

Agreed.

Well, From the Programmers point of view that seams to be logical but
IMHO from the users point its may confusing if the Autoscroll start
are done by hitting the faster menu item.

Sure, IMHO there are enough ways to comfortable control the thinks.
The *complain* was about "IF there are an menu item it should work"
not because there are a missing a way to control something;-)

That's related to the English translation, I only change the German
strings :-)


One little cosmetic think i have noticed: THe settings for the delay
allow a maximum of 9950, but if you increase/decrease the delay using
the menu/Buttons the limit are not uses, so you could set the delay to
 > 10000.
