I have a couple files that are long lists or words, and reach
about 40,000 lines.  Sigma Edit's scroll bars become disabled,
and I can't scroll through any of the text.

I believe the problem lies in the the programming didn't 
account for a limit of 32K for a control value.

Edit, plus the Editor I'm writing seems to handle this properly

Just reporting my findings.
