+Summary: TextBox scrollbars behavior
+
+Currently TextBox ScrollBars are implemented to handle things in pixels,
+but to handle ScrollEvents easily, it would be better to make changes on
+them to indicate lines.
+
+1. set_ScrollBars()
+
+TextBox.set_ScrollBars() should reset the view to the initial position,
+while it should leave the caret as is.
+
+RichTextBox as well (note that those property types differ).
+
+I'm attaching an example code. Click around the button on the right side.
+
+
+2. Use of ScrollBar.Scroll event
+
+For now I just examined vertical scroll bar:
+
+	- SmallChange -> move to next/previous line
+	- LargeChange -> move to next/previous page
+
+Currently their move seems based on pixels.
+
+
+3. Minimum, Maximum and Value
+
+According to my analysis above, VScrollBar properties on TextBox should be:
+
+	- Minimum is 0.
+	- Maximum is the total line count.
+	- Value is the line number of the topmost visible line (might not be; when
+it comes to the End area).
+	- SmallChange is 1.
+	- LargeChange is lines-per-page. However, it is not obvious
+	  since the actual size of a page depends on each set of
+	  lines, and the scrollbars are not resized page by page.
+	  Thus, the following expression would be used to compute the size:
+	  (text_area_height / document_total_height) * line_count
+
+For RichTextBox, not sure. Unlike TextBox its line height is variable.
