[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs 2.0 annoyance

[David Reitter]

Robert,
thanks for your comments.

Points 1 and 2 are directly related to how GNU Emacs 23 implements the scrollbars; I can forward your comments.   
Ways to work around this in Aquamacs could be investigated; no-one has created a patch or made suggestions regarding this so far.

This doesn't seem right to me:  that's not what I get (or most other users, for that matter).
Could you make a full bug report (start via the Help->Diagnose menu without customizations)?
Also, I'd be interested if this is related to `smart-frame-positioning-mode' (try switching it off). 

Thanks again for your input.
- David
