I'm not familiar with gnome-terminal and not much with CSS, but I have decided to dig into this bug and see what's happening.

My first finding is that yes we should just drop the 'scrollbar-background-theming.patch' from gnome-terminal and fix the theme. So I made that change to gnome-terminal...

My second finding is that the Yaru theme is already correct and doesn't seem to need fixing:

terminal-window {
    notebook {
        scrollbar {
            background-color: transparent;

It seems Yaru's request for 'transparent' comes out as white. Any other colour seems to work -- it's only 'transparent' that doesn't. So this appears to be a bug in either GTK or gnome-terminal failing to honour 'transparent'. And yes we should still remove the patch scrollbar-background-theming.patch as well.

I'll be away for the next week or so, so maybe someone else can finish this or I will look into it further when I return.
