Sometimes we may find simple Windows objects like scroll bars and buttons missing. We know they should be there, but they are not anywhere to be seen. What might be happening? Lets look at a few threads and see if there is not a common cause for problems like this.

As we see in both of these incidents, changing the fonts of an individual object or changing the fonts system-wide can give us bizarre results. We really need to change font sizes sometimes, but we need to be aware that when things don’t appear, as they should, this can be the cause. Here are a few pertinent articles.
