Description Jedd 2003-08-06 10:30:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Sorry about the woeful description.  And to avoid confusion I don't use the words
 vertical or horizontal.

 This bug manifests itself in kmail, but may exist elsewhere
 -- possibly a kdelibs / qtlibs issue perhaps.

 If the message in the message-pane is longer than the window, then the up/down
 scrollbar appears.  This is normal and fine and good.  However, if that scrollbar
 appears, then the left-right scrollbar appears .. even though there's nothing
 'to the right of' the message.  It *seems* to be that KDE calculates the width
 of the contents of the window, and then gets the up/down scrollbar there, and
 decides that it's wider than it thought it was, and so forces a left/right scrollbar.

 It's very .. odd.

 Cheers,
 Jedd.
