Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/6581

Bug Description

In eg. the Sidebar or in a Document, when you need to scroll and you want to use your mouse to grab the scrollbar for more refined control or faster scroll speed, it's hard to grab them because eg. the sidebar resizer area covers some of the scrollbar, and it's the same in a document where the window resizer also covers some of the scrollbar.

How to Reproduce

In a very long document, try to use the scrollbar.

In a sidebar with a lot of nested views, try to use the scrollbar.

Expected Behavior

Easy to grab and use the scrollbars using cursor

Operating System

all

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.7.2

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context

I have the same issue here and it is driving me crazy. There is no way for me to actually grab the scrollbar without the resize mouse cursor appearing and blocking it. I've tried adding a manual gtk-3.0 CSS file to the flatpak install I'm running and that did not work since I think it's basing everything on Flutter (which makes sense.) This wouldn't be such an issue except for some reason my Page Up + Page Down buttons seem to not respond consistently or almost at all within the AppFlowy interface.
