- Some bugs may be fixed by the new compak2.dll, but not all. I've been seeing a
- problem when I'm in a full screen editor and I'm scrolling up in the text using
- the up arrow key. All the times I've seen it I've been in column 1 towards the
- bottom of the screen. As I start to scroll up, the bottom of the screen blanks
- as I'm scrolling up. The cursor doesn't match the position I'm supposed to be
- in either. Refreshing the screen brings everything back to normal. And this
- isn't a issue with tabs because the file I'm in contains no tabs and actual no
- white space except for single spaces between words.
