A bug, fixed now.

These need additional mouse events, which are on the "wish-list" for
this release.

Actually, on my machine, the Excel scrollbars are thinner than J! In any
case, the next beta will have an option GRIDSBMNINWIDTH to set the
minimum width for the scrollbar (it is implemented already, but not
working properly). Right now, the scrollbar size is based on the height
of the labels.

Again, this depends on what mouse events can be received. Right now, any
mouse event in the grid outside the listbox will cancel the list. If you
click outside the grid area (i.e. the isigraph control), then no mouse
event is received. We need to fix this.
