Scroll Bars in scrolling groups

Thanks Bob,

I didn't set any geometry properties. I thought that unless you explicitly
call "revUpdateGeometry" these properties have no effect. The thing that has
me stumped is that even with messages off showing vertical scroll bar either
by the message box or property inspector makes things move.

Is it possible that some of these controls have geometry properties set?
