Scrolling & Accessibility are fine. "Internet Options, Colors" works
too, but only for HTML documents.

(a) "START, Help" shows them immediately. (Right pane only.)
(b) So will an Explorer window in "View as WEB page". (Left half only.)
(c) To see your colors at an URL, you must also "Internet Options,
Accessibility", & "Ignore colors specified...".

Everything is fine, just fine & dandy with Q832894!

| It's pretty well known that scrolling is broken in the version of
| mshtml.dll
| which shipped as part of MS03-048 / KB824145 in November:

|
| Like a lot of people, I circumvented the problem by backing off to the
| prior version of mshtml, waiting to see if the next release of mshtml
| would be fixed.
|
| The good news:
| the latest fix seems to fix the scrolling problem.
|
| The bad news:
| the latest fix is broken in new ways.
| Example:
| Because of vision problems, my IE settings are set to
| General => Colors => background=grey, don't use Windows colors,
| and
| General => Accessibility => Ignore colors specified on web pages.
|
| After the latest fix (MS04-004 / KB832894), these settings are
| ignored.
| I confirmed this by uninstalling and re-installing the fix several
| times,
| and this bug is consistent and reproducible.
| The bug disappears when I revert to the pre-November mshtml.
