I meant to add that the general rollout of M32 with the now missing arrows
just occurred early last week. This is how I just found out about it when
another family member called me the other day thinking he had done
something to screw up his Chrome.

buttons for scrolling

 

I don't know if this is new to the Linux version, but I've been living
with this annoyance since fall on the Windows laptop provided by my work.
Personally, I hate the absence of arrows on the scroll bar.  Pretty sure
the scroll bar also shrunk in width, making it difficult to grab/move as I
want.

Don't upgrade to Chrome M32! Google decided to merge the UI from various
OSes into the single one found on ChromeOS and killed the up and down
stepper arrows at the top and bottom of the vertical scroll bar, and (I
think) at the left and right of the horizontal scroll bar without making
any kind of widespread, public announcement. Of course you have wheels and
pads and touch screen and keyboard arrow keys, but if you're like me and
need to single line step scroll through a page and are used to doing so
with just a mouse click or pad tap on the stepper arrows, this might be a
real hassle. They say they'll "monitor" it. There are some extensions that
sort of bring them back, but they aren't without side effects. 

 

Here is one of a number of bug reports seen in recent days about it:
