recent security patch? certain V scroll bars disappear

[jmichae3]

in my yahoo mail and in dreamweaver 8 where there are smaller client
windows that can have vertical scroll bars, the scroll bars are
missing. the only way I can scroll is with the scroll wheel on my
mouse (I am thankful to have one).

It has been this way for a couple of months, so I don't know what
update did this.

And you're certain it was an update...perhaps an update from Adobe or Yahoo?

Why would an update to yahoo or affect Dreamweaver? there are no
automatic updates from adobe to dreamweaver. I applied the latest
patches myself, but I experienced no problems until much later.

I had several updates some in just before I noticed this problem.
the problem has not gone away. firefox says it could be related to
themes, but I suspect that dreamweaver is using the IE ActiveX control
to display browser content given its behavior with character
availablility in fonts, but I am not entirely sure. I will ask a
dreamweaver engineer.

it turns out DW8 uses its own custom browser. and as I said before,
things were working fine until a short time ago.

I would add that it may use microsoft's scrollbars or client window.
