1. Slider doesn't click'n'drag (so the only way of getting to the back of a 66-car train is to hold down the mouse on the right arrow button and wait 60 seconds or so).

2. Selected car/loco isn't highlighted (so it isn't clear if it is in fact selected). It would also be useful if vehicles with the handbrake set were indicated in some fashion, like in MSTS.

Nothing new about the first point, but I would like to add that point two also should appy to MU connection and engine start / stop state.

Cheers, Markus

Although it is not really a bug, I find that the behavior of the vertical slider in the activity Help display (F1) is similarly frustrating. It may be just my problem, but I can't find a way of smoothly moving up and down in a long workorder list. Also, it would be great if the mouse scroll operated in these windows.

Cheers,
Sid

Me too.

However I know James is working on new GUI elements, so it may be that all these scrolling issues will be resolved in one go.

That would be nice, Chris, cuz I'm having the same issues with the slider bar.
I also like the added scroll wheel function possibilities. That's a good idea, IMO. :good:

Yeah, the scrollbars are a known problem. :sign_oops: You can click the arrow buttons to scroll small steps or click the gutter to scroll in large steps. I plan to enable both dragging the thumb and using the mousewheel in the new UI.
