72127 - vertical scrollbars disappear when row=1 and horizontal scrollbars are present

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[rubydoo123]

during the course of debugging bug 72101, Kin and I found this problem:

If you specify "style: scroll" then the vertical scrollbar never appears if 
row=1, if you specify "style: auto", then the vertical scrollbar only disappears 
if the horz scrollbar appears. Whenever there is a horz scrollbar and row=1 the 
vertical scrollbar disappears, bottomline it really doesn't matter what the 
overflow is set to, if the other conditions are met, the scrollbar disappears.

row=1? is this a tree control? If it is its Hyatts baby.

Comment 2

[John Morrison]

It is referring to an HTML <textarea>, per bug 72101, not to a tree widget.

I don't really follow the explanation of this bug, though. Aren't scrollbars
intended to disappear when there is not enough vertical space in which to 
render them? (Or maybe I should say, in the current implementation that is 
the behaviour; I suppose there could be a way to do it so that "something"
is shown (e.g., scaling the scrollbarbuttons down when the required space 
is not sufficient to draw them at full height).

This is an RFE for flex depth essentially.  You want scrollbars to shrink to a 
miniscule size while losing the thumb area.  This is a dup of one of my other 
futured bugs.

Futuring.

This is a mass change. Every comment has "assigned-to-new" in it.

I didn't look through the bugs, so I'm sorry if I change a bug which shouldn't be changed. But I guess these bugs are just bugs that were once assigned and people forgot to change the Status back when unassigning.
