I see that the status here is "undecided". Somebody that is interested in having us continue to use Firefox should be very interested. This is annoying enough that I've been using Chrome more often, and I hate Chrome. We shouldn't have to hunt for the scrollbar handle. On long pages the scrollbar handle is never visible. As programmers, we're all aware of usability issues, and it's hard to imagine that this one slipped through.

[Bug 1683997] Re: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty
Me too. It's extremely difficult to get into the scrollbar using my laptops touch pad. Even though I go slow and creep forward, it always either stops before or shoots beyond. A good mouse might not be so bad, but it's impossible with most touch pads, *especially* on high dpi display. Both of which features apply to my brand new Lenovo X1 Carbon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683997 Title: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1683997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As an aside, oddly enough, it doesn't affect everything. Nautilus is ignoring the theme settings and still has an horizontally-expanding sidebar on hover with my workaround in place.

[Bug 1683997] Re: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty
Those workarounds will affect scrollbars for everything. Chris, any chance you could take a look and/or forward the bug please? It seems 52 is using more of the GTK theming but still not enough - now the hovering bits aren't working properly with our theme. There might be a way to target a workaround like the above to Firefox only, then it'll be like the pre-52 state. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683997 Title: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1683997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You can also put this workaround into the Numix theme by adding the above at the end of the /usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.20/gtk.css file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683997 Title: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1683997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1683997] Re: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty
A workaround is to adjust the minimum width of the non-hovered scrollbar in the theme, eg for Ambiance, by changing /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.20/gtk-widgets.css so that the scrollbar min-width is 10px wide instead of 5px wide (you then need to restart Firefox or change the theme, eg with unity-tweak-tool): .scrollbar.vertical slider, scrollbar.vertical slider { min-height: 15px; min-width: 10px; } Then the scrollbars are usable again in Firefox. (I did try putting this in a config file ~/.config/gtk-3.20/gtk- widgets.css, but it didn't make any difference, perhaps because of https://askubuntu.com/questions/892097/why-are-gtk-3-0-custom-settings- ignored.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683997 Title: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1683997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1683997] Re: Firefox scrollbars are too narrow and difficult to use in Zesty
** Description changed: Firefox 52.0.1 in Ubuntu 17.04 has very narrow scrollbars that are difficult to click on using a mouse - they are about one-third of the width of the 'old-style' scrollbars used throughout most of Ubuntu until a few weeks ago. (ubuntu-gnome has the same problem, fwiw.) - I notice that some applications, like gnome-terminal, still use the old- - style scrollbars. Others, like Nautilus and Rhythmbox, have a half-width - scrollbar like Firefox, but the scrollbar doubles in width when the - mouse moves near to them, making them almost as usable as the old-style - scrollbars. + The expected behaviour is that the scrollbars should widen when you + hover over them, the same as with other gnome 3.20+ apps.
