Use intuitive popup scrollbars

[Kẏra]

This would just give Ubuntu more edge and make it even more intuitive. Although for people used to the old style scrollbar it may be intimidating at first glance, within a couple of clicks, it would immedately become another reason to get hooked on Ubuntu :)

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

Marking as invalid for here, based on the first comment.

I'd call this a bug. The visible-on-mouseover scrollbars introduced in 11.04 are slow, are unreliable, and are a usability/accessibility nightmare. The old-style scrollbars at least worked.

Suggested fix: open the software center and disable the new-style scrollbars.

Can we mark Ubuntu and gtk-2.0 (Ubuntu) tasks fixed now?

Is Unity using thes method?
