WinEdt avoids resizing Vertical Scrolling unless absolutely
necessary because doing so results in flickering and can be
confusing as the text jumps on the screen. However, in this
(and similar cases) the result is indeed a bit odd and it would
much more natural if the last line was at the bottom of the
screen rather than on the top.

This has now been fixed for the next version. It's not really a
problem (more an oddity)...

Also, I've spent the afternoon introducing a few filters that
prevent unwanted activation of active strings with wildcards.
This, too, will be addressed in the next version. Patience:
more time consuming and problematic work on the new console is
still pending...

Best regards,
