Forgive me if this has been covered already, but...
I have upgraded to version 2.3.2, and noticed something very strange. On my
PB G3 500 Mhz, running OS 9.0.4, when you make a field and make it
scrollable, the scroll bar is shaded and a draggable handle appears EVEN
with nothing in the field.
In other words, normally on the Mac, an empty scrollable field has an
"all-white" scrollbar, ie there is no shaded area. And no draggable handle.
When the text exceeds the height of the field, the scrollbar area turns
gray, with a draggable handle appearing. Forgive me if I'm using the wrong
terminology. This is also the way MC has always been...
Now, w/MC 2.3.2, the scrollbar ALWAYS draws a shaded scrollbar with a
draggable handle, which you CAN'T DRAG if the length of the text does not
exceed the height of the field.
This gives the user the distinct impression that the text field is full,
even if it isn't. And when you go to drag the handle, you can't move it of
course. This is a really annoying violation of user interface.
Why this unfortunate change? And how did I miss this discussion... surely
someone else has seen this? I'm hoping that there is a solution, and I'm
also desperate for one... as quickly as possible!!!
