@gassedgas you mean it got locked due to it being more than a month without you or anyone else replying? The one at When scrolling hebrew pages very often all text selected
It didn’t get eliminated. It’s just that after a long time of nobody replicating or responding, toics get locked so the focus can go on active issues and also so it’s less likely for people to hijack “dead” topics and speak about other things.
If you’re still having the issue, I can reopen it. But I also know that you were the only person reporting any issue with it and it seemed nobody at Brave was able to replicate it.
Apologies for not following up previously.
I’ve opened the following issue for our developers to review:

OS/Desktop
scrollbar
### Description
For Linux builds, it looks like there is as gap between the act… ual clickable scroll bar on the page and the border around it. It makes it so that is possible to click in that gap (rather than on the scroll bar itself), so that when you try and drag to scroll, you don't end up scrolling at all.
This appears to only be an issue in Linux systems. A user reported this a while ago and shared a short recording of the behavior which can be viewed here:
https://drive.proton.me/urls/6Q109JC6P8#LyaEIpT462YO
### Steps to reproduce
1. Visit any scrollable page in Brave on Linux
2. Click directly on the scroll bar and drag -- observe you scroll the page
3. Explore the area the scroll bar is located in and notice the gap that can easily/accidentally clicked
### Actual result
Clicking in the gap does not select the scroll bar
### Expected result
The border or gap should be smaller (or harder to click on) so that the scroll bar is always selected, or it should be that clicking anywhere in that gap/border still selects the scroll bar for clicking/dragging.
