Yeah, i am using proportinal fonts... funny i never noticed it before...

sorry, very sorry... i dont have time to do a patch at the mo, im off to the
Reading festival to get muddy tonight, so dont have much 'quality geek time'
available :)

I have however attached my code for scrollboxes, along with an old tree.c
which uses it, so people can have a peek at my code... in fact, most of what
I have done is in new units scrollbox.c/h (which lives in apps/recorder,
like the widgets.c), so a diff is not needed.

note that the copying routine is v. inefficient at the moment :)

let me know what u think,

cheers

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.
