Here's something you might try for a possibly increased understanding
of the scrollbar bug: in the inspector, inspect something particularly
long and scroll down until you see the gray. Then click on a blank
area of the white part of the window. This issues the command "Toggle
Inspect NIL" (doesn't do anything; a minor bug) and it often makes the
gray bug go away. This code might also have something to do with the
inspector's version of the bug (but I don't really know what's going
on, so it might not):

(defmethod redisplay-frame-pane :after ((frame inspector)
					(pane application-pane)
					&key force-p)
  (declare (ignore force-p))
  (change-space-requirements
   pane
   :height (bounding-rectangle-height (stream-output-history pane))))

This has something to do with the scrolling, but I'm not sure exactly what.
