A problem began recently, whereby when I open an OS/2 windowed session
the window is the correct size (80x25), except that the bottom line
shows a horizontal scroll bar (so that I have only 24 lines of text).
This throws off the display for programs that expect a 25 line display.

I am running 4OS2 (latest version) and 4DOS (also latest version); it
doesn't happen in windowed DOS sessions, only in windowed OS/2
sessions. I can "fix" it by adding "/k mode co80,25" to the parameters
line, but this causes the window to flicker (as the mode command is
executed), and it isn't really a cure, since the problem shouldn't be
happening in the first place.

If I click on the top line of the window (the title bar) the scroll bar
on the bottom disappears.

This problem affects not only OS/2 windowed command line sessions, but
also all programs that run in OS/2 windowed sessions.

Not only can I not figure out where the problem came from, but I can't
figure out why it should happen. The window is opening as 80x25, and the
scroll bar doesn't show have a slider in it (since everything is already
visible and there's nothing to scroll). And it all began recently; I
have been using OS/2 since 2.0 was released and never saw anything like
this until a few days ago.

Suggestions?
