Hello.
I'm having a very minor redraw issue with the scrollbar in Windows XP.
This problem occurs on my WinXp Sp1 (Though my XpSp2 Virtual PC guest
also has this problem).
Start up a Windows Explorer instance.
Make sure it has both the horizontal and vertical Scroll bars visible
(resize window/go to a big folder if necessary).
Once you have all the scroll bars visible, drag the Explorer window to
the taskbar. Make the Task bar cover the horizontal scroll bar (so the
horizontal bar is below the top of the task bar).
Now, Very Very Very Slowly, Drag the explorer window up, so you are
gradually uncovering the scrollbar. Take notice of the lower right
corner of the scroll bar as you uncover it.
Do you notice it is no longer grey? For extra effects, try wiggling the
window sideways whilst you move it.
The problem seems to be scrollbar redrawing problems, particularly with
scrollbars that were dynamically created. When you move the scroll bar,
I am expecting it to redraw itself in the lower right corner. It doesn't
in my case. Is this vidcard related? (see my specs below)
This problem affects:
Mmc, Dependency Walker, WinDbg, Norton, The Common Dialog Boxes, Notepad
(to an extent), RazorLame, Process Explorer, countless 3rd party
software (almost any that creates vertical and horizontal scrollbars).
The scrollbar that belongs to the Dialog box at the end of this post. It
affects both styled and un-styled applications. The only common
denominator is Windows XP.
The problem doesn't seem to affect:
Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Acrobat, 3rd party utilities that use
their own scrollbars, plain Multiline Edit controls that already have
scrollbars. The scroll bar of the edit box in the dialog box below.
