I got CED PRo version 2.11 I wouldn't blame this on CED. With CED 1.12 you even have the ablity to choose following menu items: - use custom scroll routines - use system scroll routines This new items are specialy added for those users with problems accessing the serial port. Anyway the problem remains with many programs: simply access the menu and hold the right mouse button for 10 seconds... intuition makes a forbid()! So scrolling is fine with CED, but accessing menus for a longer period is still not recommended. CED won't trash your uploads or download if you have setup your buffer/handshake right and you don't hold the menu/scroll for a long time without a break (>5seconds).
