Comparison of scrollbars

Not sure if I'm filing it to the right component, but I don't know where else to file it.

Scrollbars of HTML areas (either it's GTK-3 Firefox, or webkitgtk in Web or in GNOME Online accounts) are two wide and different from standard GTK3 scrollbars.

It doesn't look very well especially on websites where you have several such scrollbars, it also takes a sizable amount of horizontal pixels.

In 3.14, those scrollbars were consistent with other GTK-3 applications. The new overlay scrollbars should be used. And if they can't, at least scrollbars with the same width.

See the attached screenshot to see the difference.

yeah, nothing we can fix from the gtk side - the scrollbars are the responsibility of the browser / web content. I'll move this bug to epiphany, but it may end up getting closed there...

Although Firefox is a different matter. Matthias will let them know.

I can let them know myself. It just stroke me that it looked the same both in Firefox and Epiphany, so I thought it was rendered by GTK. But apparently it's the changes in Adwaita that broke the rendering of scrollbars in browsers.
Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2015-03-12 21:59:48 UTC 
Yes. Matthias, if you know what changed and can provide guidance as to what to do that won't break how we handle non-Adwaita themes, that would be helpful.
Comment 6 Jiri Eischmann 2015-03-12 22:07:20 UTC 
I filed a bug against Firefox: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1201527
But some guidance would be appreciated by FF devels I suppose.
