I don't think it's a bug... more of a feature.

The TP Window procedure uses the BIOS scroll part of the screen feature.
Scrolling one line by itself didn't make sense to the designer (if you
think of the process as scrolling a part of the screen, rather than
creating a window, it DOESN'T make much sense). Thus, a 1 line scroll
doesn't work, and the 1-line window doesn't either. Unfortunately, if
Borland documents this, they don't do it too carefully, and windows
goes sadly without error indicators.

What to do? Consider surrounding the window procedure with your own
routine to make it a little more friendly.
