User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 On the page http://www.banksofthesusquehanna.com/Tests/index.html there's a javascript text scroller. This scroller uses an object to display the text, and another object to clip the text to the screen. The text object is a child of the container object, which is in turn a child of the document. When the scrolling begins, the text object is positioned to the right of the screen, then it moves to the left. The portion of the text outside the container is invisible, as expected, but there's still a scroll bar, sized as if the text object were totally visible. As the text scrolls left accross the page, the scrollbar "thumb" grows, indicating a decrease in the scrollable width of the document. When the right end of the text object enters the screen, the scrollbar disappears completely. scrollbars shoudn't appear when any "decendant" object is outside the viewable area of the browser window, only when visible content is outside. Neither Netscape 4.79 nor IE 5.5 show a scrollbar when dispalying this page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the example URL Actual Results: Horizontal scrollbar appeared even though all fisible content was confined to the viewable area of the browser. Expected Results: The page should display without a horizontal scrollbar.
