Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! :hair:

Skip the intro. Then - can someone please tell me why this dynamic textbox won’t scroll? It’s just a normal old multiline, embedded fonts dynamic textbox fed from an xml file that reads a Notepad txt file. It is loading just fine but not scrolling?

Thanks for any words 'o wisdom.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I couldn’t find anything in there that I haven’t used or tried before. ☹

I’m not having much luck these days fixing these little problems. Anyone else ever suffer with a non-scrolling textbox before?
