[Bug 1443886] Re: Scrollbar disappears in windows like gnome-terminal

 

gnome-terminal seems to have an additional bug though, maybe related to
tabs, that makes the scroll bar not appear even when doing the steps
described in this report.  It might be as simple as "after switching
tabs, the scrollbar doesn't appear until you create a new line at the
bottom of the terminal".

Title:
  Scrollbar disappears in windows like gnome-terminal

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Not sure if this is a Compiz bug, but it's related to windows
  management. The type of scroll bar used in gnome-terminal was also the
  same as that in Firefox before I upgraded my system to Ubuntu 14.10 at
  the same time I upgraded Firefox to version 34 or so (so either
  Firefox, or some other program changed how scrollbars look).

  Switching to windows that use 'thin scroll bar', only ~3 pixels wide
  with no arrows

  If done quickly, it works fine as long as the mouse cursor is pointing
  at the window being focused to. If done slowly, by pressing alt-tab
  and holding alt, the scroll bar will disappear or become faded. Faded
  scrollbar is when alt is held for a very short period of time, so the
  application switcher menu only shows up for ~0.1 sec.

  Using static application switcher in compiz.

  Window's shadow border also sometimes longer to appear if alt is held,
  but it doesn't seem consistent or related to scrollbar.

  The 'invisible' part is an overlay that's the same colour as the
  background. If scrolling up or down, when the line representing the
  current location moves past the 'invisible' part, it's erased, so that
  if the line representing the visible portion is returned to that area,
  the 'invisible' part is smaller.

  Nautilus, gedit, and gnome-terminal all seem to be affected by this
  bug. The line isn't totally invisible, but being able to see it could
  depend on having an LCD screen that provides high contrast near the
  white range at that viewing angle. All three of these applications are
  demonstrating the bug for me right now, but I'm not sure if they
  always do.
