IIUC what I wrote in my comment it seems that I had the following
problem: In a normal frame I had hscroll > 0 and after maximizing the
frame hscroll was still > 0 but the longest line was now less than the
width of the window so inherently it became impossible to drag the
scrollbar because the slider now occupied the full width.  This means I
could not scroll the text back to make its left part visible using the
scrollbar alone.  So I added this hack to do that.  But you observations
clearly show that there's some silliness in it.
