Disabling a scrollbar when it is getting adjusted triggers adjument events continuously and the bubble automatically moves down till the end. The event generation stops only when the bubble moves to the lower end of the scrollbar. This is noticed on solaris9 (CDE) / linux (RH9) right from 1.4.

On win32, as soon as the scrollbar gets disabled, it gains focus and the bubble starts blinking (but actually there is no bubble there, only the focus border of the bubble blinks). When I press the down arrow, the blinking bubble moves 1 step down and vanishes.

This is noticed on Motif as well as XToolkit. Reproducible right from 1.4. Reproducible on all platforms, but the behavior of the bug differs b/w win32 and solaris.

I have attached a sample test. Execute the test. You would see a frame with a scrollbar. Click the down arrow of the scrollbar with the mouse. Now the bubble will start moving and you will see a sequence of adj. events being triggered. Now re-run the application and click on the track this time. You will see events being triggered by scrollbar indefinitely.
