[QUOTE="jbrinker, post: 89355, member: 24773"] Thanks for the reply... I guess I was thinking like this: When I select "videos" I start in the "menu" half of the screen. I move to the right, and everything works as Id expect (drive left, right, up down etc). However, I find that on many occasions when "driving" I inadvertly scroll to the right, expecting that as I reach the edge the cursor will return to the left-most position on the next line (CR LF). But instead, it returns to the menu and I "loose" track of it. I guess my suggestion was to make entering the "list" a different "bucket" so to speak. You move from the menu to the list and you are "stuck" over there until you either escape via some button, or drive back to the top. If I open up windows explorer, and navagate to a folder (left pane) and hit "tab" to move to the right pane, (Icons view) Im stuck in the right panel and can navagate with the arrows without accideltally popping back to the left pane. I know, totally different interface, but its a WAF / user expectations thing. While I was thinking about this, I had another side-thought. If the cursor were more visible (noticable) it might be easier to not "get sidetracked" so to speak. With the new animations is it possible to have "flashing" cursor (well, not flashing exactly, but say a rolling brightness thing, or anamation of some sort)? These are ALL minor issues, but since I have helped with QA testing where I work I tend to focus on these "first time user" experiences. Thanks to all!!! J [/QUOTE]
