It seems after having set the scroll width to a value, the scrollbars
in the datagrid group are not properly resized.
The dgHScrollbar have a height of 1 pixel and the dgScrollbar have a
width of 1 pixel whatever the value passed to the property "scrollbar
width".
I forced it to the right in DGH.

If you are not using DGH you can solve this by editing the group and
changing the width or height value by hand. Be sure to refresh the
corner offset to have it in the foreground.
Once the right value set, the scroll bar width will not change until
you will try to change it by the "scrollbar width" property.
