This is an important issue that affects not just current developers but also 
those looking at LiveCode as a possible tool for their projects.

The ability to not just scroll smoothly, but at the correct velocity based on 
user input, has been a basic requirement for any modern app for many years now.

It’s so fundamental that it’s become a subconscious requirement — end users and 
developers may not immediately realize what the issue is, but they know 
something’s not right.

It affects not just the script editor, but all LiveCode fields in general.

Some, like NASA (in-house apps) and EuroTalk (multimedia apps) may not care too 
much about this, but many do.

First impressions last, and what may seem like a tiny, low-priority issue is 
silently causing unnecessary attrition, affecting LiveCode’s revenue as well as 
those of LiveCode developers.

Please have a look at this bug report that I opened in 2008 and contribute any 
additional feedback to hopefully help bring it back into focus:

Many thanks! :)
