I still have one of version 23.0.91 and I launched it twice with -Q.  
The upper one has the view from launching calendar, the lower  
(active) one shows the vertical scroll-bar scrolled as much down as  
possible (you might be able to see the grey gap):

With TinkerTool I changed a system-wide preference that all scroll- 
bars show two arrows at each end. Could be this changes the behaviour  
– or it's a Tiger (10.4.11) feature!

It's not the standard behaviour in other Cocoa applications (in  
Terminal, Mail, Preview the scroll-bar stops and I see the bottom of  
the "buffer" at the window's bottom), this looks more like copying  
the bad manners of GTK.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists  
solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
