Problem

Symptoms: The customer's document is set up in columns. Cursoring up through the second column is incredibly slow. It takes about 1 second per line. Column 1 is much faster. Likewise, moving down in column 2 is fast. Solutions: Development states, "It is very natural, given the way that WP works. When an up arrow causes the screen to scroll, WP needs to establish the top of display at its new position. When you are in column 1 (or not in columns), that new position is right on the line containing the cursor, so WP can establish the new top of display in milliseconds. But when you are in column 2, that new position is quite a distance from the cursor, so it takes longer to get there to establish the top of display. Without completely revamping the way WP displays, I don't see how this can change." This would be an enhancement request.
