To add an idea, semi-transparent scrollbars could be shown over the content when the mouse approaches the edge. This would avoid flickering andto save space at the same time. I realize one could not use this if the scrollbars would cover some interactive controls at the edge of the content.
Also, I would like to see some new creative way of scrolling the content, especially for cases when the full length of the content is not known, e.g. a ListView with variable cell sizes, or a possibly infinite stream of items that are loaded as needed. In these cases, the scrollbar length always lies about the actual total length of the content.
