that is known.  That requires another tiny patch.

I disagree on that one.  Think aboutthe situation when you button
down on A9 then drag downward.  That should definitely scroll the
lower panes (note: I use 'autoscroll' to mean scrolling due to a
drag outside the sheet).  Hitting down arrow at the boundary is
debatable.  I don't see the intervening elements as hidden, just
scrolled.  So it seems reasonable to assume a user wants to go to
the next row rather than the next visible row.  It would be fairly
easy to make this a preference, but we're starting to get too many
of those already.

Thanks for testing things
