am I allowed to mention the word "scrollbars"? My particular case is that sometimes, in sb-sprof-ui or in my tabcode app, I see a lot of grey at the bottom of a scrolled area where real output ought to be. (I'm afraid I don't even understand how this can happen, but I'll try to characterize it better if this is a new bug for anyone).
Here's something you might try for a possibly increased understanding of the scrollbar bug: in the inspector, inspect something particularly long and scroll down until you see the gray. Then click on a blank area of the white part of the window. This issues the command "Toggle Inspect NIL" (doesn't do anything; a minor bug) and it often makes the gray bug go away. This code might also have something to do with the inspector's version of the bug (but I don't really know what's going on, so it might not):
(defmethod redisplay-frame-pane :after ((frame inspector) (pane application-pane) &key force-p) (declare (ignore force-p)) (change-space-requirements pane :height (bounding-rectangle-height (stream-output-history pane))))
This has something to do with the scrolling, but I'm not sure exactly what.
