Then maybe the problems I see only exist in So Cal. I first take SM
issues to mozilla.dev.ports.os2. And all I usually get - including this
case is "works fine here". Peter did provide this;
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-comm-central/

With this version it seems to scroll OK even tho it seems the page is
still downloading. And, the download takes a long time but does seem to
eventually finish. With previous versions the arrows stopped chasing
each other - throbber? - but the clock never left the cursor. Nothing
else on that page worked. So no Tools >>>. I had to close the browser.

Also, with this and other recent versions I get the same sort of email
scroll delay we demonstrated at a meeting. Back then I eliminated the
delay by removing all plugins except the default. I have since run
without extra plugins.

From Peter:

That's what I feared. The problem is that the code is wildly different,
because in that timeframe SeaMonkey switched from Gecko 1.9.0 to Gecko
1.9.1 code. I don't see an easy way to track down. The only way would be
to create dozens of builds using a mixture of 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 until the
timeframe was narrowed to one code change. I don't have time for that.

It seems like the entire load of SM for OS/2 has fallen on him.
