It has been discussed before. Maybe you searched the wrong list, or used the
lists' built-in search. Don't bother with the latter; use Google, it'll find
hits in the archive.

There are a number of issues with the chooser window's scroll bar. Well, two
that I can recall: sporadic scrolly-wheel ignoring, and even more sporadic
not-showing-up-at-all. Both are machine-related somehow; e.g. on my XP machine
at home, the scrolly wheel always works, on my XP machine at work it always
doesn't. I haven't looked into it yet, but I suspect there's something going on
with the parent/owner relationships or some such Windows arcanery. It's on the
list. This too will pass... eventually.
