You have not answered the question that I posed in the first post of this thread...

Let's look at it another way... scrollers were working to scroll groups... now they don't, so I think that it is fair to assume that something is broken... I also think that it is fair to assume that something like this should be fixed as quickly as possible... you broke it, I think you should fix it... as people plan to use the tools that are in the toolkit...

Let me ask my question another way... Do you consider the inability to scroll groups under 6.7.4 & 7.0.4 to be critical ?... Do you intend to fix this quickly, to get back to how things were... or am I to be left in the dark, not knowing when scrollers might be able to be used again ?  

I need to know when this will be fixed... Surely, you don't expect that I  just sit and wait in a 'repeat forever' loop... ?
