Sorry for dropping in. On 2005-02-28 I sent another scrollbar related bug report to this list, but never got any response <URL:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/6041/match=emacs>. Item (ii) of that bug report might be related to the behavior you described above. The bad news is, the other three remaining issues are still present in the Emacs version I'm currently using. The same holds for this bug report <URL:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/6050/match=emacs> -- no response, still present. Another recently sent bug report again didn't raise any response <URL:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/12199/match=emacs>. It contains version information of my current setup (Windows OS). I sent those bug reports here since I'm using a prebuilt CVS version of Emacs. If this is the wrong list for those bugs could you please suggest another list?
