Well... as for your scrolling issue ( if you're talking about how with
a little scroll up the scroll bar wouldn't stop ), in FXRuby 1.2 (
hence FOX 1.2 ) it's fixed.

I know this because I've been writing my own editor in FXRuby and Ruby
( there seem to be so many around these days!! :-)  ).

As for the tabs that are on your to do list, it's not that hard to do.
You're more than welcome to look at what I've done once I release mine
(should be sometime in the next week or so).

I'm curious though - why didn't you go with FXScintilla? I ended up
using it and it's saved me an enormous amount of trouble. There are
things that I haven't been able to figure out, but for me the benefits
outweigh the losses.
