As long as there is any text at all in the messages window, a vertical scrollbar is shown, even if the contents fit in the visible window space. Reproducible: Always
We have had a pat ch in reviewboard for absolutely ages[1], I needed someone to test it with multiple different themes. No-one has yet. If someone could do so, we can ship it. [1] https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102005/
The patch fails to apply to 0.6.0 (could be because of tabs vs spaces?)
After replacing tabs with spaces the patch applies correctly, and it fixes the issue for me (tested with a both themes and a few variants). The scrollbar flashes on and off when reducing the window, but that's a different issue I guess (and less noticeable)
Could you upload your patch then please.

Thanks, I'd like to see this tested on more than the 2 default themes. I'll apply this as-is now into master, so we have from now until 0.7.0 for any bug reports. If it causes problems I can remove it.
