bug#1036: 23.0.60; GTK+ scroll-bars don't show relation of viewport to whole buffer

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I am using usually the Xaw3d toolkit, now I compiled a "default"  
Emacs. Just choose "Send Bug Report…" from the Help menu and you can  
see that GTK is lying. The *Bug Help* buffer has six or seven lines  
of text and its size is 20 or 30 lines. And was does the scroll-bar  
show? The slider occupies two thirds of the scroll-bar area – are  
there some invisible ten or 15 more lines anywhere? In the Xaw3d  
version the slider occupies the whole scroll-bar. *That's* correct.

Look at this example! In *shell* buffer seven out of 24 lines are  
used up. The slider in the scroll-bar obviously does not represent  
anything. In the Xaw3d version the slider takes the whole scroll-bar  
because there is not yet any hidden text.
In the lower buffer the file Kanäle is partially shown. The red block  
cursor stands on line #7 of 62 lines – why is the whole scroll-bar  
filled with the slider? In Xaw3d I have a small slider in a few times  
larger scroll-bar.
