Screen Scrolling

[Tom Nitroy]

I think PL/SQL Developer is a great product. However I have one frustrating complaint. The vertical screen scrolling in the Query part of the SQL Window (it happens in program windows as well.) I write long queries or programs which I have to scroll down through when developing. So, I put my cursor on the little down arrow in the lower right hand corner and click and hold watching and scanning my code. If the code is too wide for the screen, a horizontal arrow pops up (or goes away if the opposite happens) and moves the arrow I am currently holding down so that my cursor is now in the vertical region, causing the screen to now jump down by pages. Ugh! I know this is all windows behaving properly but it is frustrating. Can I turn this off in perferences or can this be fixed to recognize someone is doing this and not pop up the horizontal scroll bar?

under version 7.1.5.1397, as long as I don't let up on the mouse button PLSD continues to scroll line by line, even when the little button moves !

As a work around, put the cursor in column 1 and use the up/down arrow on the keyboard.

Or, go to Preferences / Editor and turn on Wrap Lines.
