As I was going through the I Ching collection hold, I went to verify the level start text, and found that the text was always scrolled all the way to the bottom, making me have to scroll up to see the beginning of it to make sure it was correct. While I appreciate the convenience of having the cursor positioned at the end of the description, on long descriptions especially I think it would be more useful to have it positioned at the start of it.

After visiting all the descriptions, I changed the hold end text in the following way: I backspaced over all of it, and entered something completely different, and longer than before. When I then went to the hold description to verify it, the last line of the ending text was on the top of the screen, and when I pressed up the two line hold description appeared correctly.

I had to go back and change my report here, as I realized the wrong text was in the hold description box.

Thanks for mentioning this. I've fixed it so that the view will be correctly positioned to show all the text (if possible) in the future. We've also added some other text interface goodies in the new version that people should find very helpful.
