In some situations file content is still scrolling,
even if Pause button was clicked and Paused message is
displayed at the bottom of file window.

following scenario usually leasd to this problem
- pause scrolling
- wait for new lines (they are added, but display is
frozen correctly)
- go to end of file (Ctrl-end)
- it starts scrolling even if "Paused" is still
displayed
- toggling Pause and Play does not help....

    I also have this problem. I downloaded 4.2.11 but it
    reports itself as 4.2.10 so I wonder if the latest release
    is the latest.

    In any case - failing to pause means it is impossible to
    scroll up and look at a detail you just saw because the
    screen keeps on jumping to the end. The pause feature
    simply does not work at all.

    This is the same for me on winxpsp2 using tail 4.2.12
    Makes it hard to scroll up! :o)

    I am using version 4.2.12 and the pause functionality does not work for me either.

    This is a /very/ useful utility, but the pause-function is critical for continued use!
