Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I think Dan mentioned that it doesn't
apply to MVC. Among others, such as the strange scrollbar behavior,
that was one of the reasons why I dislike using MVC.

Of course, MVC is a lot faster than Morphic right now, so if you have
a slow system, you ought to get used to the funny scrollbars:)
