Hello, I use (set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) 0 nil) to disable the minibuffer scroll bar. This works if Emacs is launched with $ emacs but it doesn't in emacsclient sessions, though it takes effect if evaluated in the running session (e.g. with 'eval-expression'). I tried delaying the evaluation with 'window-setup-hook', to no avail. $ cat ~/.emacs.d/init.el (set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) 0 nil) In GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.8) of 2019-04-30 built on buildvm-06.phx2.fedoraproject.org Windowing system distributor 'Fedora Project', version 11.0.12004000 System Description: Fedora release 30 (Thirty) Recent messages: Loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/desktop-entry-mode-init.el (source)...done Starting Emacs daemon.
