TIP: Text in a Resource Can be Scrolled, While Popup Menu is Open

This will be a useless tip for most people.  And maybe Mac-only.

1. You have your right-click popup menu panel (make sure what we're talking about)

2. Then (at least the Mac), you have your 2-finger scrolling

3. Which scrolls resources, leaving the popup menu still open; even for the originating resource.

This is handy when the popup's being used for quick lookup, and you want to scroll several examples (in my layout case, some hebrew resources, some LXX, divining some Syriac).

Of course, the popup disappears, when you're back to the one-finger/mouse.  And all is well.
