When one of the values of a combobox contains a long string, not only the horizontal, but also the vertical scrollbar appears (even when there are only a few entries). It seems the window height is always [nr of entries]-1 in that case.

Example:
  ComboBox .cb -textvariable v -values {a b somelooooooooooooooooooooooooongstring c d}
  pack .cb
and click on the arrow button.

The attached patch solves this.

Thank you, doc changed

As found in the ChangeLog:
        -managed option: if true, scrollbar are managed during creation,
        so their size are included in the requested size of the
        ScrolledWindow.  If false, they are not.

Accepted, commited in cvs.

Koen, do you have any insight of purpose the -managed option of ScrolledWindow ?
Could you write a text for the man page ?

Thank you,
Harald
