This change would have the benefit that users could set FL_NO_BOX if they want to do so (for whatever reason, background image or anything else) and if they make sure that the text wouldn't scroll, i.e. it would fit in the widget.

Greg and others, what do you think? Should we change this?


    I figure a possible downside would be if we change it,
    an old app setting box(FL_NO_BOX) accidentally (e.g. a stray setting in fluid)
    would cause that app to smear during scrolling if rebuilt against 1.4.x.

    If so, that might be bad..?

    I figure showing a background image "under" a help view without a scrollbar
    would be a narrow use case. I figure to do anything 'fancy' is best done
    in an external web browser by saving the html to a file and then calling fl_open_uri()
