Can we make the scroll bar always visible in this text area?
Closed this issue · 2 comments
It's unclear that you can scroll, wondering if we could make it so the scroll bar always shows so they can see it?
Seems like browsers and OSes handle scrollbar visibility differently, and I haven't found an easy way to force scrollbars to stay visible in all situations.
For MacOS, “Show scroll bars: Always” checked in General System Preferences apparently does the trick, but that's a user preference.
We could do a custom scroller in JS, but we'd be adding complexity, weight, and maybe sacrificing some performance.
A better option might be to design the textarea to give the affordance of scrollability, without the explicit scrollbar. We should bring this up on the next design call.
Boo, was hoping it was just a CSS setting 😉
Oh well, we can punt this and deal with more critical things.
