I doubt there's anything we can do about this, but I'll take a look anyway.

Comment 3

Ok, investigated, and there's nothing we can do here. The scrollbar shows because we change from overflow:hidden (which we use to make performance while dragging acceptable) to overflow:scroll.

This depends on being able to specify somehow if you want scrollbars or not. I'll n?tif to see if there's any comment about whether we want to make it possible to unselect icons, but I expect this will be a wontfix in the end. I wouldn't have thought we'd want to be able to easily get into a state where you can basically do nothing.

passing NI to Liz. Thanks!

The scrollbar is visually undesirable, but it doesn't stop people from doing what they need/want to do.

As far as unselecting, the "Done" button is sufficient for unselecting.

Comment 6

[Chris Lord [:cwiiis]]

Closing as wontfix, as there's nothing we can do here. This would rely on being able to declare that we don't want scrollbars/indicators to be displayed somehow, something that isn't currently possible. Feel free to open a bug on platform to request and track this (and cc me if you do :))
