No

Behavior: When a connection is first opened, the
WorldView is highly resistant to scrolling, either by
the scroll bar or the mouse wheel. The scroll bar will
jump back down to the bottom many times a second,
irrespective of Scroll Lock.

Workaround: Click in the middle of the WorldView or use
Page Up or Page Down first.

Cause: Unknown

Clues: Similar behavior can be seen (and in fact is
intentional) when Scroll Lock is off and text is being
recieved from the world. Disabling that code does not
affect this bug, but this bug simulates that code until
the workaround is preformed.

    This one appears to be caused by the reaction of the
    WorldView to changes in its text. The severity has been
    lessened in the next release by causing the heartbeat to
    attempt to append new text to the WorldView only when it has
    text to append.

    Behavior: When a connection is first opened, the WorldView
    will automatically scroll to the bottom of the window when
    text is recieved, regardless of Scroll Lock. Applying the
    workaround above will restore intended behavior: The window
    will not autoscroll when Scroll Lock is active.
