I have now spent a few hours on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/issues/927
Still don’t understand why the behavior of the horizontal and vertical boxes are not the same and why the fix in my test does not work in the gnome maps app …
Well I guess my only choice now is to read (and understand) the code from gtkboxlayout 🫥
Nearly a year later, I find myself going back to this post and adding its settings to get a sane #scrollbar on #Firefox.
It's annoying that despite Mozilla dropping Motif for GTK+ in their browser back when they open-sourced their browser, they still didn't consider maybe using the native UI widgets that GTK+ provided?
My chosen GTK+ emulates a nice retro OS/2 theme, which is actually rather quite usable on a #tablet #touchscreen. It's not the classical Motif UI of historical Unix, but it's usable. Another good choice would be the classic MacOS UI… or maybe 90s era Windows. Make those a little beefier on a touchscreen and you'd have quite a usable UI for both desktops and touchscreens.
But… Firefox and Chromium UI devs know better apparently.
