What do you mean by "have the variable"? If I try to evaluate it on
Windows, I get an error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion)
eval(scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion nil)
eval-last-sexp-1(t)
eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-print-last-sexp()
call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil)
This is what I'd expect, and it seems so would you. So where's the
problem exactly?

Agreed.

It will probably get fixed before the release. Or should be.
