My website host Lonex blames this on Firefox - the problem does not occur using Explorer: When editing a file using Tiny Mice on Lonex, the whole file can be seen and edited. When editing the file using Lonex's plain text editor, the 10 to 20 bottom lines of a large file do not show on the editing screen. They can be copied using Shift-Down and Ctrl-c, during which the missing lines flash on and off within the selection highlighting, but scrolling down to them doesn't work - the bottom of the screen just jerks down and then back up to the last visible line. This continues even if I delete the hidden lines as well as several lines above them - the problem just shifts to the end of the last line and won't allow anything to be added after that point.

Not solved, but I found a work-around. Use Ctrl-End to move the cursor to the end of the hidden lines, then press Enter repeatedly to add blank lines to the end of your code. This will scroll the hidden lines up.
