Slow Scrolling with latest OS X Binary

[David T.]

The register problem is as you described: using the scroll wheel is noticeably slower on the bundled app than it is with the fink-installed X11 version on the same machine. I tested this both with the Macbook's two-finger scrolling trackpad, and an external mighty mouse, with the same results. The bundled app is scrolling slowly.

And yes, you are referring to the reconcile window problem I see. If you wait long enough, the arrow key will eventually do something; it just takes so long that you forgot what it was. I use the keyboard a lot because OFX imported transactions come through on my machine as pre-reconciled (I don't know why that would be...), and clicking one of these de-selects it, and if you click on the transaction again to reselect it, more often than not, you end up opening the register to that transaction, taking you away from the reconcile window altogether. A minor annoyance, to be sure. I avoid that by using the arrow keys.

otool tells me that the cputype is I386.
