No, actually it has done that for quite some time. You're using proportional fonts, right? The scroll code is not written to handle proportional fonts, it works somewhat ok using something of a kludge. The scroll code will be rewritten as we progress towards unifying the font code.

Except we will always need a one-line scroll, for those really long strings such as pathnames.
