calculating max vscroll

Hmmmmm

I would have thought that the formattedheight - (height -
(topborder+bottomborder)) would have been precise - but it is off by 2
in this case.

The basic idea is to get to total height of the contents, and subtract
the height of the displayed portion of the contents. Is there anything
other than borderwidth that reduces the displayed contents from the
field height?

No, it was set to the default 2.
