Some items have huge stories in their flavour text. And while that stuff might be interesting, it's frustrating to try and look at stats and such when the item description window is constantly scrolling up and down because of all that text.

Please give us an option to turn it off (even if it's just "hold button X") so that we can look at items without their description screens scrolling.

Either that or make is so that we can manually control the text crawl...
And it was such a good idea...

you can press Shift - L to lock it and scrollbar will appear, you can then middle mouse click - hold and move up and down or use roller on your mouse, this was there since beginning of that crawling text and it had appropiate text at the bottom saying its possible, at some point it was removed by DG ( i think, the text that is )

how many people know that though?

More important, how many people have middle mouse buttons? I don't.

There's a game (don't remember which one) that controls text with the PageUp and PageDn keys. Maybe we could use that?
