Message
Load this plugin into a blank world and scroll up/down and watch the status bar. [EDIT] On affected systems it counts up very rapidly and shows the window width bouncing back and forth.

Replacing SetScrollInfo with SetScrollInfo in this one spot appears to fix it (no more transient scrollbar pop-in), though I don't really understand why SetScrollInfo doesn't work right there.

I mean replacing SetScrollInfo with SetScrollPos, of course

After some testing on real Windows, I think it's possible that this only affects Wine, or at least that it doesn't affect the latest version of Windows 10, or at least it definitely affects the latest version of Wine on a macbook running macOS Mojave. But I think it should be patched in MUSHclient anyway to protect Wine users and possibly others. The unpatched behavior makes it functionally impossible to play with a hidden scrollbar on affected systems, because scrolling at all hits the system so hard because the scrollbar appears and disappears hundreds of times per second.

My reason for looking into this is that I implemented the idea in https://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10550&reply=3 with my miniwindow scrollbar module, and it's really nice when it works, but it requires this patch to work with the original bar hidden.

Didn't I implement your last Git push? Or is this a separate one?
