[Bug 1329963] [NEW] Normal scrollbars lack up/down buttons

 

Public bug reported:

On 14.04, I have disabled the annoying, and buggy overlay scrollbars that I've hated since they appeared, with the method described here:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/disable-overlay-scrollbars-ubuntu13-10/

So now I have "normal" scrollbars, which is good, except that THEY LACK
THE UP/DOWN BUTTON that should be present at the top and bottom (either
an up button at the top and a down button at the bottom, or both either
at top or bottom).

Why the developers of Ubuntu keep destroying the usability of such
basic, obvious things as scrollbars, is beyond me.
