[PD] scrolling in a patch window

[Dan Wilcox]

This is down to the OS, really. On macOS, I scroll X & Y with my touchpad just fine.

The Pd GUI uses the default Tk scrolling mechanism, if you want to tinker: https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/scrollbar.htm <https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/scrollbar.htm>
