Up until now the standard way of implementing scolling gadgets on the
Amiga has been an up gadget, a prop gadget and a down gadget. It worked
great for me. 

I have recently received two product upgrades, TxEd and ProWrite. Both
these products have changed to put the prop gadget at the top and the
up/down gadgets at the bottom next to each other. I hated it when I first
used them because I kept hitting the wrong one. I refrained from comment
for a month or so figuring I would get used to it. But I haven't. One
of the problems might be that I am using interlace mode which can make
these gadgets very small.

Where is this trend coming from? Lets stamp it out NOW! I realize that
you can move up/down with less mouse movement which might appeal to
some, but it is not working out for me.

How about implementing it as an option.

Any thoughts?

Martin.
