Remove preferences for scrollbar placement and/or disabling

[Markus Amalthea Magnuson]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Is it just me, or is it complete usability madness to allow moving the scrollbar to the left side of the window? Also, allowing to disable it altogether seems equally non-standard.

What is the rationale for this behaviour?

My suggestion is to put the scrollbar on the right side, and removing all such preferences. And it should only be visible when needed, as in most other text fields in most other applications.

thanks for your report, but there's no need to report it on launchpad if you already did it on the upstream bug tracker, it only creates extra work for developers and triagers, thanks in advance.

I often prefer to use the terminal full screen and disable the scrollbar altogether, especially when the programs I'm using there can't make use of it properly. Most of the things I use the terminal for don't require a scrollbar at all, please don't remove that option.
