So Linux still has scroll buttons?
Linux is a kernel, not "an operating system". There are many Linux-based
distributions (distros), but the Linux kernel has nothing to do with
what anything looks like in them. Look and feel and available widgets
depend on a multitude of desktop environments which themselves have
various themes available.
SeaMonkey Modern has a unique look and feel that ignores the theme of
the environment other than the UI fonts. Loss of scroll buttons in SM's
Modern theme represents a significant change, very much unwanted here.
To see why, acquire arthritis and/or carpal tunnel and/or other
inhibition on movement with your mousing hand, then try to position
window content vertically with any sort of precision. Clicking scrollers
is the only way that works. Even that is worse than it used to be, when
it was possible to have the scrolling increment equal to one line
instead of 2.5 or 3.
I have had the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome. It was from having
my wrist bent while using a pointing device. After I realized what the
problem was, I made a point of keeping my wrist straight, and the
symptoms gradually disappeared.
Since Mac OS no longer has scroll buttons, I have learned to compensate
by selecting a line in a list or a text file and using the arrows to
move the selection up or down. When it gets to the top or bottom, the
whole thing scrolls by one line with one press of the arrow key.
