Where´s the logic in that? Why isn´t the text moving up together with the scroll bar?Seriously? It indicates the position in the document, and so it behaves.Yes, seriously, and I do see the point. You move the text with the scrollbar, so why does the text move into the opposite direction of the scrollbar?Because it doesn't move the text, it moves the viewing window in the text.The window isn´t moving, it remains at the same place on the display. When you move the window, the contents move with it. When you move the scrollbar, the contents of the window move. So you can´t argue that movement is relative.
I knew that Roel's use of the phrase "viewing window" would confuse someone. There's more than one use of the word "window".
