I can use a black scroller to scroll VNC window down, but it cannot scroll up.
I need to restart VNC viewer to see the top of the remote screen. Screenshot is
attached.

Hi

Have you tried to press the right button instead of the left button on you
mouse?

Yes I know this is a very old way of scrolling but that works for me at least.

Ohhhh, it works! :) I think it will be great to display a message box with
help when vncviewer starts (only once). Smth like "To scroll down use left
mouse button, and right to scroll up".

Hi Dmitry

Well this is the ovious way when this was developed many years ago. At that
time most applications worked that way.

If you want the new way I suggest that you use xvnc4viewer instead. :-)

Hi Dmitry,
[...]

Thightvnc is old software. Upstream does not maintain Thightvnc on
Linux any more. Thus, scrolling will stay the way it is.
