[moneydance] Navigating Around Register

[Gordon Alley]

This happens to me fairly frequently. Just before posting this reply, I
opened MD, and then right-clicked a credit card account (to open it in a new
window). The window opened with a transaction dated 7/23/2007 at the bottom,
about 1/3 of the way back through the transaction history. I hit CMD-N to
open a new transaction (the scroll button didn't move), entered a
transaction for today, and hit Enter. THEN the window jumped down to the
latest transaction.
After that, I went back to the home page, and right clicked another credit
card account. That account opened to the FIRST transaction in the account,
waaayyy back in 1999.

Just for reference, if I display the oldest transaction in my primary
checking account (01/02/1999), I have to hit page-down 56 times to get to
the last transaction. It takes about 8 seconds if I hold page-down and let
it auto-repeat. Dragging the vertical scroll thumb is the fastest method.
This is on a 24" iMac with the window opened to just about full screen
height.
