Version 1.11.12 still has the scrollbar bug, which is rather ugly to put
into a even number release (it was introduced in 1.11.5).  I would
seriously propose scrollbuttons as an option  (I installed them at my
computer camp (ah, the joys of corrupt administration) and no one
(experienced or newbie -- we have both) had trouble).  If this seems too
untested, we could just eliminate the scrollbars, at least for 1.12.0.  I
know that when I first introduced the game here, the bug caused a fair bit
of trouble.

It's still your final call, though.
