Mine is set to Arial 10 (I assume 'regular').

I just tried after setting fontsize to 9. It owrked fine, but maybe because it EXACTLY filled the screen. I'll add a TAG and try again. ...No, even at 9 it doesn't stop when there is more than apage to show.

Oh well, the workaround is easy enough.

Thanks Fred.
