Scrollbar so thin on Linux that it doesnât work at all.
This is not a new problem but has become increasingly frustrating.
See attached video.
Note scrollbar measures 5px (but doesnât capture the mouse).
Chrome scrollbar measures 15px.

Hi Dav,
Thanks for the report. You can change the scrollbar width with a custom stylesheet like so:
:root {
--scrollbar-width: 15px !important;
}
People use mouse wheels to scroll nowadays, so scrollbars are treated as indicators.
Actually, Iâve made them thin because of the suggestion by a user.
The sidebar uses a different variable, so you might want this:
:root {
--scrollbar-width: 15px !important;
--sidebar-scrollbar-width: 15px !important;
}
I have to point out that I never noticed this on the Mac where scrolling with a trackpad is pretty good. But on my Linux laptop, the scrollwheel I have is cumbersome to use past a few screenfuls. I donât think a very thin scrollbar is a good default, as this is breaking functionality for prospective users.
Thatâs because of the user request:
So, thatâs a personal preference, depending on which pointer device is used.
It seems crazy to me to break the application for some people to tweak the cosmetics for others.
Iâve seen people do some painfully repetitive tasks with computers, entirely voluntarily, even grumpily refusing to do it a quicker way. (Weâre talking rename hundreds of files repetitious.) So Iâm not sure âpersonal preferenceâ is a useful idea, as it captures some outright masochistic behavior.
To me, if I canât use the scrollbar and I donât have specific hardware that has good inertial scrolling, itâs broken. This is the same as my preference of a mouse and keyboard over a gamepad: I simply canât play some games with a controller.
If it werenât for this fix, Iâd find the application unusable for any notes longer than a few screenfuls. Thatâs a bad default.
