I see no vertical scrollbar in this messagebox, with release candidate three.

I copy its contents with Ctrl-C and paste them into a text editor; they're
eighty-five lines long. But in the messagebox I see only forty-one physical
lines, which is all that can fit. Those forty-one correspond to thirty
logical lines, some of which wrap.

I'm using 800 by 600 resolution, but I observe the same issue even at
1280 by 1024. Up- and down-arrow keys, as well as PageUp and PageDown, with
or without Alt, Ctrl, or Shift, have no effect. I'll send a screenshot
privately.
