Hmm, this sounds familiar..
If Fl_Scroll is like some other widgets, I /think/ the scroll position
might be calculated during actual drawing of the widget.. so you
probably
have to cause a redraw event once just for the positions to be
calculated
internally for the widget, then again once those calculations have been
made.
So instead of just calling redraw() once, first try this:
scroll->window()->redraw();
Fl::wait(.10);
scroll->window()->redraw();
This will cause two redraws, perhaps fixing the problem.
If that doesn't work, you /might/ have to put your scroll position code
just after the Fl::wait(.10), as after that the scroll widget should
have
redrawn itself and recalculated its internals.
But try the simple thing first, just the above extra two lines.
