Hi,

after applying a theme to an app, some datawindows are drawn with unnecessary scrollbars. There were no scrollbars without a theme. See attached pics.

A datawindow has these properties turned on: LiveScroll, HScrollBar VScrollBar.

No controls (visible or invisible) are placed outside the visible area, so there's no reason to show a scrollbar. It happens on various forms and various DWs (not on all of them).

Any idea how to easily get rid of them? I've tried to modify the .json file and to set drawing to false to vscrollbar and hscrollbar - no luck.

Regards,

Tomáš

OK, I'll try to create a sample app with such a behavior.

So, I didn't succeed creating a sample app but I've realized what is causing the issue. We are creating a rectangle around the active datawindow - for users to know where the focus is. This rectangle exists even for non-active datawindows, it's just set to be invisible. And when using themes, the rectangle needs to be resized a bit, otherwise those scrollbars appear.

Another mystery solved.
