I mean where the actual X11 window is constrained to expand/shrink by steps 
of the font's character width/height.
This has been the case, by my witness, for as long as I recall.  It seems 
to still be the case on Windows 10.

I don't have a right or bottom scrollbar, just the left.

I asked someone on Arch, and he said the same change happened to him a 
short while back.
