[Rd] (PR#8471) Browser problem, Misrepresentation of .html in Solaris Firefox

[Prof Brian Ripley]

In what sense is this a bug in R?

It is either an Exceed or Firefox bug: R is not involved in any way in 
scrolling the pages.

That is an exceedingly old version of Exceed: I have version 10 on my 
machine, and I think there is a `2006' version now.  I have seen a lot of 
bugs in earlier versions of Exceed (8.x and 9.x, not way back to 6.0).
