Summary:
A multiline text box will not scroll correctly with large font sizes.
This applies to setting the FontSize in design mode and during run
mode on a multiline text box with scroll bars.
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows. This is not a problem with Visual Basic,
but rather with Windows 3.0.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Place a text box on a form (any size around one square inch).
2. Set the following properties:
MultiLine = True
ScrollBars = 3 - Both
FontSize = 24
Text = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
3. Start the application (by pressing the F5 function key).
4. Scroll horizontally as far right as possible.
Note: Though you would expect to be able to scroll to the letter "z,"
the scroll bar will not adjust for the large font. Changing the
FontSize property or setting the Text in code at run time does not
solve the problem.
As you enter text into the text box, the scroll bar adjusts accurately
so that one can scroll to the end of the line, regardless of the font
size.
