Why would users set 'scroll-bar-width' to zero, instead of turning off
scroll-bar-mode?  Or are you saying that turning off scroll-bar-mode
also produces the same bugs?

If turning off scroll-bar-mode does work, then how about disabling the
direct setting of 'scroll-bar-width', either silently or noisily?

But the comment says "disabled", not "width set to zero".  is it
correct when scroll-bar-mode is turned off?  If so, perhaps just
qualifying the comment by the method by which the scroll bars are
disabled will be good enough?

If we disallow setting this parameter directly, or at least setting it
to zero, this problem will also go away, right?

Thanks.
