Yes, this solves the problem. I set virtualScreens to 2000 and bmp
viewing is well now.
I have to do some aditional tests though...

The tests have been done:
A: 1214 x 1012 is OK and can be scrolled (JPG and BMP in Inbox)
B: 1914 x 597  is not OK. Was JPG => BMP The BMP in the cache is OK but
can not be viewed entirely with Arachne 1.75 or 1.61

So I decided to make VirtualSreen 4000 but that made no difference.

C: 2048 x 1536 is not OK, as expected.

One test to be done setting JPG conversion from bmp to gif => tomorrow
:-)
