I despise these invisible scrollbars that don't exist until you hover over them and don't show you where you are on the page:



Horrible invisible scroll bars



They are horrible to use over remote desktop.

Such behavior is expected if you have installed special overlay scrollbar packages.



Remove them with



sudo apt purge overlay-scrollbar overlay-scrollbar-gtk2


and then restart the application.




Below is a comparison of look-and-feel:




  • with overlay-scrollbars




    with <code>overlay-scrollbar</code>





  • without overlay-scrollbars




    without <code>overlay-scrollbar</code>
