ActiveX scrollbar or something cooked up in VFP? The former had this habit of bleeding through controls which were supposed to be over them, specially containers and/or pageframes. The "and/or" is here because a scrollbar in a container in a page just made you wish it was 0- blood type, so it'd be an universal donor. It was sure to bleed sooner or later.
