Or you can also open the second pane (press tab key) and have the second
treeview scrolled to a different place.

So far 2 windows or two panes. Making the treeview scroll with mouse
events had not ocurred to anyone yet, but it sure does seems like a good

suggestion (maybe gleaned from another application), we would appreciate
the contribution.
