I started this as a note of some anomalies to use-revolution (kicked off by
the discussion there of limiting scrollbar positions to exact points)
because I wasn't certain which of these are bugs, and which might be my
result only (or my misunderstanding).  But now I think these are real bugs.
Testing is with 1.1b1, on TiBook G4 under MacOS 9.1, and Windows 98 (VPC).

* the 'showValue' property; documentation says this works in all OS's, and
causes the scrollbar's value to be displayed in the scrollbar thumb.  I was
looking at a horizontal bar, and my experience was that with style
"scrollbar", in Appearance Manager, emulated MacOS or emulated Windows, no
value appears.  For this style, only on emulated Linux does a value appear
(above the thumb).  If you switch the style to "scale bar", then you get a
value (either above or below the thumb) in all Look and Feels, but you may
have to muck about with the size of the control to make it appear.  This
also applies running on Windows, in native L&F, or emulated Mac.

On vertical scrollbars, value appears on all Look and Feels except
Appearance Manager.  So perhaps the bug is just that the value is always
displayed to the right of the thumb (and underneath the scrollbar), even in
horizontal bars where it should be above or below?

Are there any contexts in which the value actually appears in the thumb?
 

* With style "scrollbar", in all Look and Feels, with thumbsize set to 1,
and start and end values set to small numbers (eg 1 - 7), and pageInc set to
1, clicking in the page area of the scrollbar has no effect. If the pageInc
is set to 2, then clicking in the page area of the scrollbar moves by 1.  In
general, it appears that pageInc is interpreted off by 1.  (In fact I've
just demonstrated this - set pageInc to zero, clicking in the page area
moves by 1 in the wrong direction, ie it's interpret as if the value was
"-1").
