I had not seen the previous bug report 697983 when I found the 704959 
bug report. I did go back into Pan and can state that your workaround 
works.

Thanks for the clarification. I figured that the best place to find a 
solution to my small screen problem was to post to the mailing list. The 
bug is a minor annoyance, but there are ways of dealing with it, whether 
using the alt + drag, reverse tabbing, or direct editing of the posting 
prefs.xml file. Of the three the alt +drag is the quickest.
