The applet used to render the crossword puzzle at
www.ivillage.com/books/crossword/ does not render scroll bars for the 'Across'
and 'Down' list boxes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to www.ivillage.com/books/crossword/
2.Click the 'Go Play!' button.
3.On the next screen, click the 'Play' button to start the crossword puzzle.
4.Notice that there are no scroll bars in the 'Across' and 'Down' list boxes. 
It is impossible to scroll up or down in these boxes.

Actual Results:  
There are not scroll bars in the 'Across' and 'Down' list boxes.

Expected Results:  
There should be scroll bars in the 'Across' and 'Down' list boxes.

Using build 2002081908 on SuSE 8.0. Using JRE 1.4.1 beta.

Please note, the scroll bars render and function correctly when I am using
Mozilla on Windows 2K, regardless of which JRE I am using.  This problem appears
to be unique to running Mozilla/JRE on Linux.

Attachment: Moz on Linux - Scroll bars are missing on 'Across' and 'Down' list boxes.

Attachment: Moz on Win2K - Scroll bars render and function correctly.

This is the same page, processed on Moz 1.0 on Win2K.  The scroll bars
consistently render and function correctly in a Win2K environment. But they
never render properly in a Linux environment.

Reproduced the problem on Solaris, too. But running on Windows with the same
mozilla and JRE was fine, the scroll bar showed OK.
It looks like a Unix platform Java problem. Re-assign to Java group.

Following code is from cword.class of the applet in that website:
init(){
...
        resize(740, 400);
}
Following code is from html source of that website:
<applet ARCHIVE="cword.zip" CODE="cword.class" WIDTH=530 HEIGHT=360>

So, the area of the applet is out of the range that Browser can give it. I think
it's a bug of that website. They should give enough space for applet.

Why windows display correct?
Because awt native implementation on windows and Unix is different. On windows,
text and widget is smaller than on Unix. So the space is enough to display the
scrollbar.

So, I want to close this bug.
