[Bug 125734] Re: Firefox scrollbar doesn't use the "infinite size" usability effect

[AleksanderAdamowski]

John, it seems I was wrong and this is indeed a GTK issue.

I've unpacked chrome files shipped with firefox-3.0 Ubuntu package and
tried to locate CSS border settings for main-window or browser or
document, nothing significant was there.

Then I've noticed that the Firefox scrollbars correspond to the GTK
theme's scrollbars, they are even updated in real time if I switch GTK
styles.

So it seems that Ubuntu Firefox's default theme is closely integrated
with GTK and it inherits GTK's problems. This would also explain why
installing a different theme (like Nick Welch did) fixes the problem  -
3rd party themes aren't integrated with GTK.

I've tried verifying it in a different GTK application or even some QT,
but all apps I've tried have some ridiculous border added to the whole
document area (I've tested gedit, abiword, gnumeric, gnucash, oowriter,
oocalc, kedit, kword, konqueror). This is quite a problem, BTW, as this
severely impacts usability of a large group of basic apps.

Do you know any well-behaving application (apart from Firefox) that
doesn't create this useless border around its window that I could test
with? Or maybe this is the problem with GTK itself, not those
applications?
