Description

@aBlueShadow:

Some minor issue I noticed with comms messages: The text scrolling is very slow, and the scrolling only works on hovering the scroll bar. On other text boxes, the speed is maybe still a bit slow, but usable, and the scrolling works while hovering anywhere over the element.

Speed seems to vary by element, possibly inverse to length. For instance, Ship's Log scrolls faster than Database entries, which scroll faster than comms options list or the player list on crew screen selection.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the slow or scrollbar-only mousewheel behavior in comms messages, Ship's Log, Database entries, comms options, and the crew-screen player list, then trace the relevant text-element scrolling path; done means scrolling works over the element and has usable, consistent speed.
