Paul,

The "thing" is called the scrollbar thumb.

It might be a video driver problem. I assume scrollbars in other apps behave differently? You might check the Appearance settings for the Desktop Properties.

>Now *all* the scroll bars in both IDEs have white backgrounds and the... 'scroller' ...(what the hell _do_ you call that thing you move in a scroll bar to make it scroll?!?!?) leaves 'tracks' on the scroll bar. Everything works okay, but it's annoying!
>I've followed some threads on problems with VFP6, but haven't seen this one discussed and I didn't have this problem with VFP5 prior to the rebuild.
>Any ideas? Could this be a config.fpw problem (I'm using the same config.fpw for both IDEs).
