Several apps I've tried (including my company's app) have scrollbars in the wrong place, inset in the window by one scrollbar width. Duane Clark has seen this, too, and said "... the scrollbars being in the wrong position in the richtext window? I am pretty sure that is a richtext bug. I see it in every application that uses richtext. For example, run notepad and then resize the window. " (I tried running notepad, and couldn't reproduce it myself, so maybe I'm confused.) One app that shows the problem is Resource Hunter (free trial download at http://www.boilsoft.com/rchunter.html). Just start it, and look at the position of the scrollbars in the lower left pane. Is this a well-known problem? I'd like to try fixing it if nobody has a patch yet. Hints welcome. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
I think Dmitry said it might be a structure packing issue, as it apparently disappeared when the app was compiled under Windows, but if several apps display these symptoms maybe that's not quite correct.... On Mon, 2003-02-03 at 17:46, Dan Kegel wrote:

Were you perhaps using Window's notepad rather than Wine's? I see it with Wine's notepad. I also see it in Actel designer, that I remember. And I guess I should have said richedit rather than richtext... oh well. In all cases that I have seen, it is fixed by using a native richedit dll.

Window's notepad uses the usual EDIT control. As of a few days ago, however, so does the Wine notepad. This may explain the inconsitancy. http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?id=7152 Shachar

Hmmm... I thought I remembered maybe 6 months ago or so a discussion about this... ahh yes between you and Dmitry :-) http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/0463.html So does this mean you are going to create a separate wordpad, as you mentioned then?
