Description zohar 2001-12-02 13:13:11 UTC

nb3.3 b6 (build 200111271845)
I compiled a file and looked at the 'Output Window (Compiler)' - it has
scrollbars (V & H), although there's only one short line there, so there's
no need for them.

Comment 6 ivan 2002-04-26 23:37:22 UTC

I"m not going to give this that much priority because
a) the scrollbars don't harm anything.
b) The resizing code in Term is pretty complex so I want to revisit
this when I 
    have a faily open chunk of time. The last chunk I had I spent it
on getting
   non-latin characters working.

Comment 7 David-john Burrowes 2002-05-02 19:43:17 UTC

FWIW, I think the JLF guidelines suggest the vertical scrollbar 
should always be shown.

http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/HIG.Text4.html

If you place text in a scroll pane, ensure that the vertical 
scrollbar is always there and provide a horizontal scrollbar only as 
needed. This is not the default behavior of scroll panes.

Comment 8 iformanek 2002-05-06 16:14:55 UTC

I think we need to pick one: either show the 
scrollbar on all places (as JLF suggests) or 
nowhere. 

Since this does not affect the horizontal 
scrollbar, which actually is more harmful 
here, taking up useful output window line, it 
might be worthwhile to split this bug into 2 
bugs:
- (output window) Remove the unnecessary 
horizontal scrollbar
- (IDE) In all places (editor, etc.) show the 
(disabled/enabled) vertical scrollbar all the 
time
