(fp.bugs 3052) Scrollbar is not working correctly on Win 95

From: Joel Spolsky <###@###.###>


Java.awt.Scrollbar, using JDK Beta 2 (and Netscape 2.0 beta 4)

I created a Scrollbar with the arguments
        Scrollbar(99,5,0,104)

BUG 1:
------
On Solaris, the Scrollbar has possible values from 0 to 104.
On Windows 95, the Scrollbar has possible values from 0 to 99.

BUG 2:
------
On Solaris, the Scrollbar tracks, meaning I receive my
SCROLL_* messages immediately as the scrollbar is dragged. (this
is good).

On Windows 95, all the messages are pent up until the user
lets go of the mouse button, at which point, the scrollbar does
a little dance and flashes a lot. (YUCK).

BUG 3
------

When a (java.awt.)List become too full, scrollbars should appear and they don't.
o clarify, this is only a problem with multiple-selection listboxes. Single selectio
n List's work OK.

JDK Beta 2, appletviewer, Windows 95.
