GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157757
Scrollbar shouldn't be present unless it's needed
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The horizontal scrollbar, below the display area shouldn't be present unless it's needed.
I've just discussed this with Calum. He suggests completely removing the scrollbar. You should still be able to get to the non-visible part of the text field.
Well it turns out that the "You should still be able to get to the non-visible part of the text field" only seems to work with GtkEntry widgets, so I've changed this, so that the scrollbar isn't visible unless it's needed. I've also adjusted it so that the rightmost part of the display area is always visible when you are entering new input. Changes checked into CVS HEAD. Bumped the version number in configure.in to 5.5.12.
The fix seems to be almost identical to what I used when trying to fix pr138875. See pr138875, comment #7. The described problems occur in gcalctool 5.5.12.
Sorry, didn't realize there was already a bug open against this problem. Looks like you can close bug #138875 as a duplicate of this one.
