Part of the phone isn't showing in the video, so I'm having trouble understanding how fast you are scrolling here to cause the scrollbar to not to appear. I also need to understand what's seen on 1.4 here as well. Can we get a clearer video here on 2.0 & 1.4?

It was my impression the visual design of the contacts app did not show the scrollbar at all. I thought we just showed the alpha jump bar instead. It looks like we're still trying to hide it: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/communications/contacts/style/app.css#L317 https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/communications/contacts/index.html#L114

From the 2.0 video in comment 4 it looks to me like this isn't the scrollbar at all but an artifact of low-res drawing. It's hard to tell for sure though because the video isn't that clear. If you can disable low-res drawing (set the "layers.low-precision-buffer" pref to false) or go back to a version before bug 897996 landed and see if it goes away that would confirm my theory. (Note that bug 897996 was backed out the first time it landed so make sure you pick a build where it was not in the tree).

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening. I forced low-precision drawing always, to be able to see it up close. You can see in the screenshot how on one tile (that ends halfway through Charles Long) there is a black line down the right side. That isn't present on the next tile, although there are a few pixels of black between the Q and the R in the jumpbar. As I scroll around I see similar things all over the place that seem to be inconsistent (and change on redraws). My guess right now is that the low-res tile is one pixel too narrow, possibly due to rounding, and so a one-pixel stripe of random garbage underneath is visible.

Somehow this seems very specific to the layout of the app. The groups-container element in the contacts app has a right padding of 15px (1.5rem technically) and if I change it to 14px or 16px then the fat black line is replaced by a barely-noticeable 1px black line. I think the line (not sure where it's coming from yet) just happens to land in a place where the low-res scaling makes it look really ugly.

Not actively looking at this right now because I have other things at the moment that are more important. Also I suspect there's won't be a lot we can do about this on the platform side.

I investigated this a bit more and tracked down the root cause. It looks like in the contacts app, the div id="groups-container" has a width of 100% + 1rem so that it's wide enough to put the scrollbar offscreen. However, of that width, 1.5rem is taken up by padding-right, so the groups-container content width is actually less than the screen width. This ends up causing a 5-pixel gap on the right side which is what causes the ugly black line to show up in low-precision drawing mode. Changing the groups-container width to 100% + 1.5rem fixes the problem.

I cannot see any scrollbar on fresh Flame build, with or without this patch. As far as I understand, it should be visible all the time when scrolling, right?

No, the scrollbar should be hidden all the time; the contacts app CSS does that explicitly. This bug is about a blurred black bar that appears on the right side of the screen when scrolling fast.
