Hi, I keep getting this error message when trying to download the fasta files with both your original script and this updated one. I see in the updated script that it includes a scrolling function, but I'm still running into issues with the program not being able to continue because it following file isn't visible. Can you assist? Thank you!

Or I eventually run into out of bounds errors.

Does it happen in regular or headless mode?

This happens in regular mode

For me this was caused by a scrollbar over the last row.
Using bigger monitor helped!

(decreasing font size with Ctrl/Cmd + - in a running window until vertical scrollbar dissappears also works)

Oh cool! Thank you @majkiw :) I appreciate it!
