This is because it is the only QMX screen that scrolls.?

This is a holdover from ancient times (1970's) when physical terminals had 80 cols and 24 rows, including a ubiquitous one called VT100.? The action that caused the terminal to scroll is a newline character on the 24th line.? Or a special escape sequence.? ?And almost all user programs that did character graphics or manipulated a character-based display were written to be compatible with the nuances of the VT100.? And that compatibility has remained to this day.? So if your screen size is not 24 lines long, auto-scrolling doesn't work correctly in programs that rely on it.
