#56 Scroll bar problem

This one is probably a known issue but I'm reporting
it just in case.

I ran a really big query and downloaded 7900 results
(at the time I was trying to make the client crash as
a test of whether one of my other bugs had actually
vanished).

The client didn't crash, but when I tried to scroll
down (as yet another exercise in crash-provoking) I
found that the vertical scroll bar would only let me
go down as far as the 1524th solution. Then the little
thingummy that floats up and down the scroll bar
jammed at the bottom even though I was only about
1/6th of the way through.

The cursor keys / pg down / end keys allowed me to
move the cursor to the entires lower down. but I
couldn't see them - the selected solution dotted lines
just dropped off the bottom of the display.

    I've been working on scrolling: there were several
    problems.
    (i) The two (independent) problems reported above
    (ii) vertical scrolling in page view had stopped working
    (iii) horizontal scrolling in line view was amazingly slow.
    It looks better now, and I can look at 8000 solutions (then
    in BNC baby). Please retest in 1.20 when it appears.

    I have finally got around to retesting this. It no longer happens in 1.21.
