The scrollbars in the Tk::Text widget does not seem to work as they should in following script:

    use strict;
    use Tk;

    my $mw = MainWindow->new();
    my $t = $mw->Scrolled('Text',-scrollbars=>'e',-wrap=>"word")->pack
+;

    $t->insert("end"," this is a test" x 4000);
    
    MainLoop;

When I scroll halfway down into the text and press return to insert newlines into the widget, the scrollbars start to resize until they fill the entire scrollbar-box. When I then scroll up and down in the text the scrollbar is behaving crazy, resizing itself as I scroll past the newlines..

Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I'm on win32 with perl 5.8.4-810 and Tk 804.027
