Hi, the scroll buttons (the arrow keys) work for a while (maybe 45 minutes) then they will all of a sudden not work at all. Similar for the pgup and pgdown. Restarting DE fixes this, but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same problem. And, I am sure that I am in the program itself, because I click it to make sure, I think this may be some kind of bug. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    I have the same problem scrolling a page with the down arrow.

    I also have a Wacom Bamboo tablet, so I tried scrolling using the page scrolling area on the tablet. Same thing. After a few minutes, the page no longer scrolls.

    It seems to happens to me like that as well, I'm glad it isn't just my computer.:-P I am also starting to notice bugs with the find, as it will just lead you to the page the word is on and you have to do a manual search of the page for it.XD I hope these get fixed in the next version. *crosses fingers*

    I have the same problem; it does not seem connected to focus (clicking anywhere on the application does not make a difference). It seems to happen primarily if I have switched to another application and back while digital editions is open.

    Clicking in the content area unfortunately doesn't work. But like I mentioned earlier, restarting does fix the problem. But it happens just from time to time, but usually after a good while, so it's not bothersome, just noticeable.

    Short Answer:
    When this happens try clicking with the mouse in the content area, and it should fix it.

    Long Answer:
    There are certain areas that can gain focus and will "eat" the navigation commands, and it isn't always obvious when those areas have the focus. For instance the text controls for the current page and find. However the worst is probably the book information display in the table of contents.

    Please tell me if clicking in the content area doesn't fix, I'd be interested in trying to track this down farther.
