Using the editor of Dev c++, it is not possible to scroll the last line to the higher part of the screen. The last line can only appear at the bottom of the screen. Does anybody think it a little inconvenience?
In some other editors, such as UltraEdit and the editor of VC++6.0, we can continue to scroll when the last line has come to the top or even outside of the screen.
Can Dev make some difference to this, or can I do some thing myself?

Tools->Editor options->General, select "Cursor past EOL"
Who really cares? Why is it inconvenient!?

If the original dev author felt it worthwhile to add an option for it, there must be some case where it's useful. Although I can't figure it out either.

Well it does not actually do what it says, while it allows you to scroll past the end of the file, it does not allow you to place the cursor past the end of the file. Even if you could I can't get too excited about such a feature.

FTR neither does Ultraedit, at least not by default. You can scroll past EOF with the mouse wheel or slider bar but you can only place the cursor at a valid location within the file. I think that's all the OP wanted, although I'm still curious why.

I know of at least one editor that allows you to place a cursor beyond teh end of a file, and if you start typing it adds blank lines up to that point, but only if you actually type; but still... so what?
