Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I am connecting to a number of Windows 7 computers from by Debian/Jessie box. All of the
systems use 1920x1080 resolution on their displays, so the remote screen doesn't quite fit
on my local screen.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
The Windows task bar and start menu are on the bottom of the screen so I need to scroll
down to get to them. However, when I open some windows, their title bar and/or menu bars
are sometimes above the new displayed area. In order to get to them, I have to shut
down xtightvncviewer and restart it so that it shows the upper portion of the remote
display. The vertical scroller only goes down. It won't scroll back up.

Hi

The vertial scroller is of a very old type. I think you get down by
clicking the left button and up by clicking the right. Please let me know
if that did not help.

Hi Gary,
[...]

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