Re: XyWin & bug vs. feature

Further news on the unbidden switchover front. Starting with the freshly
called document as before (below), I can do any number of forward searches
and scrolls until start of the last chapter without switchover to page/line
mode. But when I pass a certain point mid-chapter, it switches. This point
holds true for both search and page-down, but it does NOT hold true for
arrow-down. With arrow-down, I can scroll (wearily) to the very end without
switchover. Also, if short of the switchover point I page-up several pages,
subsequent page-downs find a later switchover point. Please tell me this is
not a feature!
