I assume you are running vncviewer under M$Windows as you dot say you are
using Java viewer and Iexplorer is rarely used elsewhere.
Note that under M$Windows scrolling, the "thumb-bar" scrolls up to the point
at which the click&hold-down has occurred and then stops. For click and
release it seems to approximate
to the appropriate dimension of the viewing area being scrolled (i.e. height
or width).
To me, a VNC (non-browser/Java) window appears to behave like all other
M$Windows so maybe I'm missing some subtlety there and anyway, do not have
TightVNC to check against.
Whichever way this discussion pans out (unintentional pun) regarding the
"normal" operation,
I thank you for raising the issue as for 2 decades I've scrolled bars and
nudged arrow heads in various scrolling windows and currently never
(conciously) thought to perform a controlled click in that "[not
thumbscroller]" region. Maybe I used to :-{.
Now I can enthuse/bore/impress people with a new "did you realise that..."
conversation
as well as my customary "use the {[shift/]tab key | space-bar} rather than
moving the mouse"
(or vice versa as appropriate) gambits.
Scrolling wide and/or tall windows quickly using this feature is something I
am now
(again?) using whenever possible.
cheers, Mark
p.s. I look forward to [re-?]discovering the name of the "[not
thumbscroller]" region as I feel
sure I used to know but have forgotten!
