Display bug in Epoch 4.0p2 when scrolling left

When editting a buffer whose lines are wider than the Epoch screen
(assume 80), I may wish to scroll to the left.  The mouse is now unable
to set the point beyond column 80, and worse, when point is beyond
column 80, it will be shown in the wrong spot (usually column 80).   
For emample,

 epoch -q  
 M-88 a 
 M-x scroll-left
 C-e 

Point is at the end of a line of 88 a's, but is displayed elsewhere.

Epoch 3.2 did not have this problem, and, in fact, had the useful
feature of scrolling left/right when the mouse was dragged out of 
the window.

Any advice? Is this a known bug?  
Thanks for any help.
