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.

Since Marc has broached the subject... :-)

I am planning to help install Epoch 4.0p2 at my site soon.  However, recently I
have heard of several bugs in 4.0p2 -- mostly minor, but I've heard that some
people are experiencing semi-frequent crashes.  (It has yet to crash for me.)

So my question is, will Epoch 4.1 or 4.0p3 appear soon (say, by mid-September)
or should I boldly install 4.0p2 now?  If I install 4.0p2 I'll keep 3.2 around,
too.  No sense in tempting fate, after all :-).

Thanks for any insider information.
