Problem Note 14775: IBM Thinkpad trackpoint scroll and middle-mouse button in VIEWTABLE might cause SAS crash and data loss

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
When you run SAS 9.1.3 under Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows
XP Pro on an IBM Thinkpad (models A22P and T42P) and depress the
middle-mouse button while using the trackpoint to scroll in the
VIEWTABLE window, SAS might crash and you might lose data.

To circumvent this problem, use another method to scroll the data such
as with the scroll bars within the window.
