I might have indeed broken it, but it could have been together with fixing another bug (bug 1520761 or bug 1522568 maybe -- although the latter one is not marked as fixed), and maybe that other bug is broken now... or I might have broken it due to misunderstanding the intent -- I just realized yesterday in comment 1 that the intent is absolutely unclear.

As of the current version (rev 1660) bug 1522568 is definitely still not fixed (or broken again).

I can only repeat myself: we're facing a way more fundamental design problem than just an implementation bug. There's no way to fix the implementation without changing the design, the intent.

Just the graphical design itself, just seeing two screenshot: the prefs dialog having a three-state option, and the right-click context menu having the toggle for scrollbar visibility is already broken. There is just absolutely no way to come up with any sane, rational, consistent behavior behind these UI elements.
