Contacts scroll bar does not work

Hello!

I have an odd and annoying problem with Outlook 2003 when trying to scroll
my Contacts. If I grab the scroll bar button (is that what it's called?) and
move it up or down, nothing changes until I let go of the bar. The names
stay in place, then when I let go of the scroll bar, the names scroll.
Clicking on the scroll bar below the bar itself will change a page at a time
as it should.

Behavior in all other applications, including Outlook when reading an email,
is normal: moving the scroll bar up or down makes the text in the window
scroll.

Any idea why it will not work in Contacts?

Thank you!

I tried this using the Address Cards view (horizontal scroll bar) and got
the same result that you are getting, and I got the same result when I
switched to Phone List view and dragged the vertical scroll bar...so I
assume this behavior is by design.  I don't have any older versions of
Outlook installed to test with, so I'm not sure whether this has been the
default behavior for Contacts all along, or whether it's a new thing with
Outlook 2003.

Jocelyn,

Thanks for the response. That would be goofy if they did it on purpose, but
then again, they added a ton of worthless eye-candy and fade effects to
Windows XP, so I guess anything's possible! I sure hope it is not by design,
since it contradicts the behavior of every other application I have,
including Outlook itself when reading a message or the calendar.
