The scrolling list of available classes did not update itself according to changing enrollments.

This is possibly because the scrolling list of available classes doesn't update itself in mid-scroll; it scrolls for 5 minutes (roughly as long as it takes to scroll through the list of classes at MIT Splash) and then downloads the latest catalog and starts over. So the list is guaranteed to be somewhat stale for the later time blocks, as long as reg is actively underway.

However, there may be additional reasons for this as well.
