I opened 2.2 rc3 which opened my last opened document. I started typing at the end of the document and the preview did not scroll properly. I closed 2.2 rc3 and opened 2.2 rc2 and Typewriter mode worked again.

   What version of Mac OS are you using?

   Anything unusual in the Console?

   I assume (though you did not mention it) that you toggled Typewriter mode on/off to try and reset it?

   When you say that it did not scroll properly, what did happen instead?

   Thanks!

   TW mode works until this bit of text:

   _Re-format the partition using this number._
   
       $ sudo mkdosfs -n NAME -s 128 -R 6298 -v /dev/sdb1
   
   _Re-examine the partition. Notice that the data area now begins at sector 8192._
       $ sudo dosfsck -vn /dev/sdb1
              512 bytes per logical sector
            65536 bytes per cluster
             6298 reserved sectors
       First FAT starts at byte 3224576 (sector 6298)
           484864 bytes per FAT (= 947 sectors)
       Data area starts at byte 4194304 (sector 8192)
   
   ## Concerns ##
   
   ### Zero'd Out BPB Blocks ###
   
   In practive, we've seen microSD cards returned with zero'd out BPBs. How can we prevent that?
   

   After that, the preview always scrolls to "Concerns" and stays there. I just noticed that I was missing a line before my last code block. Fixing that didn't help. Also, adding text after Concerns made no difference as well.

   No console output and latest OSX, 10.8.3

   I can e-mail you the document if you need it.

   So the problem is with scrolling the preview, not typewriter mode? (typewriter mode refers to keeping the caret/cursor in the vertical center of the editing pane).

   Pasting your "snippet" in between filler text seems to work just fine on my machine, but perhaps I am misunderstanding the problem.

   This should have been fixed in rc5. Please let me know if that is not the case.

   Thanks again for writing!
