[Boris Kovalenko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020729
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020729

Just tried to write small piece of html code with tbody attribute to get
scrolling table. When the text in <td> is short, the scrollbar is invisible
independently how many rows are in table and value of overflow attribute.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get my sample code
2. Load it into browser
3.

Actual Results:  
Scrollbar is invisible even overflow is set to scroll.

Expected Results:  
Should be scrollbar

Sample code:

		<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
			<thead>
				<tr><th>col</th></tr>
			</thead>
			<tbody style="overflow: auto; height: 200px; border: 1px solid black">
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
				<tr><td>test</td></tr>
			</tbody>
		</table>

Using a slightly longer word instead makes the scrollbar appear.
Also noticed that the right edge of the scrollbar wasn't repainted correctly
when dragging the scroll grip.    [2002-08-20-08 trunk Linux]

Bug 119677 seems more likely (bug 122602 is WFM).
The problem is that the scrollbar just isn't there when the view size is below a
certain limit. This limit seems to a bit high IMO, because both in this bug and
in bug 119677 there is clearly room for a (small) scrollbar.

Spawned off bug 163953 for the scrollbar repaint problem in Testcase #2

Some dup marking needs to be done, but I'm not sure which is the best bug:

bug  48798 - GFX Scrollbars disappear when window gets very small
bug 119677 - wrong scrollbar behaviour
bug 146295 - Vertical scrollbar missing or incorrect for very small window
bug 163803 - Scrollbar does not appear for small view sizes

my inclination is to keep bug 48798 and dup the rest, but I'll let those
involved make the call and do the deed :)

This bug looks like it is more related to the problem in bug 48798. Duping
