Subject: bug#8868: 24.0.50; Scroll bar in the minibuffer
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:06:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTimPAoCSbmu6zs=MU2L4L6TdaWBNWQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Severity: wishlist

What is the point of having a vertical scroll bar in the minibuffer?
How often is the minibuffer high enough to need it?

I see it as something useless, aesthetically awful, a waste of
horizontal space in the minibuffer.

Thus, I'd like to suggest either to remove it, or, if someone sees a
reason to keep it, control its visibility with its own
variable/command (different from `scroll-bar-mode').
