i haven't downloaded the beta, and this might be stuff you already know. but i have a max 5 app that consists of many windows without scrollbars or title bars, fitted together perfectly. i loadbang all of the window placement info to a [thispatcher] in each window. btw, the window commands for thispatcher i learned not from the documentation (couldn't find them in there), but from the thispatcher help patch. max 5 will leave scrollbars there even after you have removed all items outside the view, you have to nudge and nudge-back something inside the view to get the scrollbars to disappear. now if max 6 is making scroll bars when they're not needed, well good luck with that. my app would be garbage upon upgrade if that was the case.

yeah this beta behaves differently to max5

in max5, once you set the window location for a patch, if you then open that patch it opens at that exact size, and has no scrollbars. in max6 it opens at the exact size but has scrollbars that appear if you hover over them. these scrollbars only allow you to scroll a few pixels, ie the exact width of a scrollbar. you do have the option to permanently disable scrollbars in each window to stop this happening but that means that when you go into edit mode you cant scroll around, you have to open the inspector and enable them again.

i should add that i think that the scrollbars only appear if there is an interface element near the edge, in the scrollbar's space, as it were, if it were supposed to be there. and i know lion scrollbars are all dynamic so... i get why this is a problem area
