Turning scrollbar off in emacsclient frames

Turning scrollbar off in emacsclient frames

[Ning Shi]

I switched to use emacsclient recently and found that the scrollbar
always appears in the frame created by emacsclient. I have
scroll-bar-mode set to nil using customize and scrollbars don't appear
if I start a standalone emacs. What else should I check or set to hide
scrollbars in emacsclient frames?

Thanks,

Customize default-frame-alist and as one of the parameters include
vertical-scroll-bars = nil.

Alternatively, if you are on running under X you can customize your
~/.Xresources.  Here is mine:

Emacs.font: Dina-13
Emacs.fullscreen: maximized
Emacs.background: black
Emacs.foreground: white
Emacs.menuBar: off
Emacs.toolBar: off
Emacs.horizontalScrollBars: off
Emacs.verticalScrollBars:   off

This seems to avoid a lot of flashing and frame resizing before emacs
settles into its initial configuration.

I tried this and it didn't work, either. However, what's interesting is
that if I remove (scroll-bar-mode nil) from customize, and leave
(vertical-scroll-bars) in default-frame-alist, then the scrollbar is
gone.

I've also tried (scroll-bar-mode -1) without setting
(vertical-scroll-bars) in default-frame-alist, it didn't remove the
scrollbars.

It seems like scroll-bar-mode doesn't work with emacsclient frames. Not
only that, putting it in customize will somehow override the
(vertical-scroll-bars) setting in default-frame-alist.

Please use M-x report-emacs-bug for informing the Emacs maintainers
about this issue.

It also happens if you put (scroll-bar-mode -1) in your .emacs?
