Trouble scrolling when a resource is "full screen"

I am using the Mac right now, but I've seen this on windows. On the Mac if you press Option-Command-R, the current window will go full screen and often spilt the text into multiple columns. The problem is I find it nearly impossible to scroll. I use the two finger scroll method on the touch pad. I can slowly scroll through normal windows in Logos just fine, but a full screen window I cannot. What happens is the slightest movement may jump 1-2 screens making it impossible to read. I have tried using the up/down arrow keys to just move one line at a time but those keys don't work in full screen mode.

Any ideas? The mac doesn't have page up/down buttons - and not sure if that would even work in Windows - haven't tested.

    From what I can tell, once it goes into full screen mode, the scrolling just moves it forward to the next page. I also read in the full screen, and most of the time I forget that it doesn't scroll the same way. The arrow keys do seem to work on the PC version for moving a page at a time.

    Once the panel goes to full screen, it switches to paged view because it can be difficult reading extremely long lines. You can manually turn off paged view in the normal fashion, and it should remember that for that resource the next time you entre full screen.

    Nope. Same problem on Windows.

    If I use my laptop touch pad, it is virtually impossible to move it ever so slightly to get it to change one screen. It is almost always 2-4 screens with the slightest move.

    If I use my mouse, then I can use the wheel on it and one click will move it one screen. Windows also has a Page Up/Down key and those work fine.

    But on my Macbook Air, I don't have a mouse, and I don't know how to get the keystrokes to emulate page up/down. However, it shouldn't be necessary.

    This is only a problem when I go Full Screen with Windows F11 or Mac CTRL-CMD-R. Never a problem any other time. Scrolling on the touchpad allows me to finely move however far I want up/down in any other Logos window.
