The firefox update to 45.2.0 broke the scroll bar in the red cats theme. (it appears in other themes) I emailed the author asking if he'd like any specific info from my machine. It appears the bar is there but 2 pixels wide or so, as good as not there.

What desktop environment do you use?

sorry... KDE

Maybe the KDE integration patches need an update. Do you also have some GTK-based desktop installed, like GNOME or LXDE or maybe XFCE?
Please try firefox there and tell me if the problem with that theme still persists.

I'll try to have a look for that issue, maybe our firefox needs a fix or two.

Not sure if this is relevant, but I've had a similar issue. I have scroll bars, but no stepper arrows. I'm thinking something changed in a gtk setting on a particular account in the "wheel" group that allows the update installation (i.e. the steppers are missing on firefox and mcc on one account on one of my machines, but different account on the same machine still has the steppers).

It's the same in IceWM. A 2 pixel-wide scroll bar I can only see with a magnifying glass. Other themes the bar is normal. I don't have any other DE installed on this machine. I will install gnome-shell, I thought I already had so it won't be a waste of time. You want me to check in gnome?

FWIW, tried on my parents box and the scroll bar looks normal using the red cats green flavour. This is under KDE using the oxygen theme, and gtk-qt-engine is not installed.

Although normally they use this theme: http://www.varesano.net/contents/projec ... refox%203x and the classic theme restorer https://github.com/Aris-t2/ClassicThemeRestorer but the scrollbar also looks normal when just using one of the red cats themes. Which one are you using, the green or the blue flavour?

And can you please post the output as regular user of

I'm using the blue flavor. The author of the theme asked me to try a beta upgrade, but it didn't help.

Can you show the content of both of those? And do you have gtk-qt-engine installed?

If firefox (or thunderbird) is your only problem, there's a workaround. a new tab in the browser, type about:config and click "I'll be careful" in the warning page that shows up. Right click in the main window and select New-->Integer. for the name type ui.scrollToClick and for the integer value type 0 (zero). Clicking anywhere in the scrollbar above the bar itself will move the page up one page, or down one page if below the bar. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1260067#c7
