There is no problem here intially.
A new window is opened with width 500 and height 100.
As there is not content, no scrollbars appear.
(This behaviour is the same as netscape 4).

If url is given as the first arg
e.g.
window.open('http://www.mozilla.org/','wins','scrollbars=1,width=500,height=100')
The page is opened and scrollbars appear correctly.

The problem you are having, I guess, is that if you use javascript to write the
contents of the window, scrollbars do not appear as necessary.
I have added Bug 55334 to log this problem without the complication of new
windows being opened.

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Layout for further triage -

sounds like a javascript bug.
Severity=critical is reserverd for crashes, severe data loss, etc.  Downgrading
to major.  I'll let jst decide what the priority ought to be.  You might just
dup this to bug 55334 (thanks, Conor!)

the URL's code is

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function winOpen(){
  var win08=window.open('','wins','scrollbars=1,width=500,height=100');
  win08.document.write('only scrollbars');
  
win08.document.write('<br>www<br>www<br>www<br>www<br>www<br>www<br>www<br>www<
br>www<br>www');
  win08.document.close();
}

//-->
</script>

<form>
<input type="button"  value=" open " 
       onClick="winOpen()">
</form>

The difference between this bug and bug 55334 is that this bug involves opening
a new window and then using javascript to write dynamic content to it, whereas
55334 involves using javascript writing dynamic content to the current window.
The problem is to do with javascript writing the dynamic content and scrollbars
not appearing where necessary, and has nothing to do with the opening of a new
window.
I feel that opening the new window confuses the problem, and that is the reason
I logged 55334.
