Description
I see the following contract violation in my program when the scroll range exceeds 1,000,000. I'm providing pixels as the units to the set-scroll-range function. Assuming using pixels is correct here, I propose 1,000,000 pixels is too small for a maximum range since I have run into the limit displaying a text file with about 30,000 lines.
set-scroll-range in canvas%: contract violation
expected: (integer-in 0 1000000)

Research direction
Start with the canvas% set-scroll-range entry point and reproduce the reported value from src/test/newcanvas.rkt in update-scrollbars. Check how the 1,000,000 contract limit relates to pixel units and scrollbar behavior. Done means the supported range is clarified and the reported over-limit case has an appropriate, tested outcome.
