It makes no difference. In fact, I deliberately chose the height 208
to avoid that issue (207 made it one whole line smaller).

I am asking windows, via GetWindowRect in user32.dll, for the size.
Windows should know it, pixel-perfect, since it drew it, but it tells
me lies, which is what I queried.

Listboxes are fine both with and without that flag.

I suspect Mike is right and it is a glitch in user32.dll, so the
simple fudge I presented may indeed be the correct thing to do.
I think I'll proceed on that assumption.
