[Bug 7594] Wine window scrolling is broken

I've always seen this bug for as long as I've been using Wine, since 
about 0.9.15.
I can't really post a screenshot, because it is a dynamic problem.

As far as duplicating it, it's easy to do. Take a string of about 50 
chars or more, copy then paste it onto the end of itself. Hold down 
CTRL+C and let it run amok. In Windows, it will run until it decides 
enough is enough, then it will wrap to the next line. Wine just keeps 
going on the same line until the scroll bar can't handle it anymore then 
weird stuff happens with the scroll bar. Just try it, I'm confident that 
you'll see what I'm talking about. If you search bugzilla using the 
keyword "scroll" you will find 16 bugs all relating to scroll bars and 
they all have a familiar theme to them.
