Re: Scroll Bars in scrolling groups

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

I have run into an issue with groups on windows where the parent group rect
wasn't quite right, and all sorts of fun ensued. but no scroll involved.

RE: Scroll Bars in scrolling groups

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Thanks Bob,

I didn't set any geometry properties. I thought that unless you explicitly
call "revUpdateGeometry" these properties have no effect. The thing that has
me stumped is that even with messages off showing vertical scroll bar either
by the message box or property inspector makes things move.

Is it possible that some of these controls have geometry properties set?

Is it possible that some of these controls have geometry properties set?
