(I guess I'm not allowed to file bugs?)

On Chromium-based browsers, workboard columns such as https://we.phorge.it/project/view/105/ have customized thin scrollbars:

On Firefox, however, they have the default OS scrollbars:

This is because they are defined using non-standard CSS pseudoelements ::-webkit-scrollbar and ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb.

The default scrollbars can get really unsightly on large workboards, such as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4864/:

Firefox supports the standard scrollbar-width: thin CSS property that can be used to achieve a similar effect: https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_properties_scrollbar-width

It would look like this:

Please add it :)

I'd be happy to write a patch, but your guidelines suggest filing a bug before submitting a patch, and I'm not allowed to file bugs…

It seems a bug that affects mainly Microsoft Windows users since I cannot reproduce that giant scrollbar from GNU/Linux.

Feel free to propose a patch directly. Even better if a related Task is created first in UX + Maniphest

Thanks for your reporting! :)
