The other possible enhancement would be putting bookmark markers on the 
page tags, but I'm assuming that implementation of those is buried deep 
in each widget set. Might be feasible to use some of the special 
circled-digit Unicode characters: not as pretty as the coloured markers, 
but adequately functional.

Running Lazarus tunnelled over SSH I'm finding that scrollbar operations 
tend to "run away" with unintentional repeats on occasion, which means 
that an overview of where bookmarks and recent changes are works out 
quite nicely :-)
