help with word (was:Re: word can't open documents...)

[Michael Cardenas]

Does anyone know how an app determines the size it's scrollbar should
be? I think it is done with either the GetDeviceCaps or something in the
DC(?)

In crossover office, when word tries to open a document it tries to
create a window with class SCROLLBAR of size 16x0, and the document
opens fine. 

In the public tree, when word tries to open a document, it tries to
create a SCROLLBAR window of size 1065353216x0, and X barfs and word
crashes. 

Running with +relay, the window has the size 981316x0 and the document
opens fine. 

If anyone has any pointers here, I'd really appreciate it. 

thanks
