  Dragging left auto-scrolls fine for me under 3.0...
  Config:  Mac IIci 5MB (13MB Virtual, 24-bit), 100MB HD, System 7.0, 
	   ten or so INITs.

  Actually, I've got a different problem with 3.0 under 7.0.  Selecting
a block of cells, then going to the Style input box on the Toolbar, and
attempting to type in a new style consistently hangs the machine, eventually
requiring a complete reboot.  
  The cursor changes to an I-beam, the text in the style box is selected, but
I can't type anything.  After about 5 seconds, the I-beam changes back to the
arrow, but there's nothing more I can do.
  The exact same procedure works when I boot under 6.0.7, but dies the above
death under 7.
