Hi all, I just tried my LazHelp package (see my other message) under Linux/GTK+ 2 using a build i just made from svn. I noticed that the scrollbar thumb size looks smaller than what it should be, which was exactly the same issue i had with the Mac OS X (Carbon) build. Apparently, the size defined in PageSize is taken in account under the Win32 widgetset (the range is 0..Max-PageSize) but not under other widgetsets (range 0..Max). I had noticed the strange behaviour in my Win32 code (i could scroll past the Max-PageSize position using the buttons) so i added some extra checks in the code to avoid it, but thought that it was somehow normal. But after seeing the behaviour in GTK+ 2 and Carbon (which in my opinion is more logical) i thought that it might be a bug.
Looking around the bug tracker i found this report: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=16107 which basically confirms what i thought. However it also mentions that Delphi 7 has the same behaviour like the Win32 one of Lazarus. So what should be the solution? Will the Win32 behaviour be replicated to the other toolkits for Delphi compatibility or the (more logical and easier to implement - not to mention that a patch already exists in the bug report) behaviour that exists in the other widgetsets will be moved over to the Win32 one? In any case having the widgetsets behave in different ways is far from desired. Personally in the meanwhile i have added an {$IFDEF WINDOWS}...{$ELSE}...{$ENDIF} temporary fix in my code, but obviously this shouldn't be promoted to permanent.
