Just read that the overlay scrollbars environment variable will be removed from GTK4 but the feauture itself will be there and accessible via API to GTK4 applications. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790677#c6 It is not only my personal taste, *all* our customers complained about overlay scrollbars after we've moved from Eclipse 3.x to 4.x, so we forcibly set export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 for our product. With GTK4 we will be unable to do so, so ideally SWT should be able to read this variable and use appropriate GTK4 API to disable overlay scrollbars.
Yup, the API exists in GTK3 for this: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkScrolledWindow.html#gtk-scrolled-window-set-overlay-scrolling Checked the GTK4 docs and they have not removed it.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
