Google is doing a lot of webkit-prefixed magic sauce here. First, they make the scrollbar always show up, regardless of the system's scrollbar behavior. This is, unfortunately, nothing we support with the set of CSS we have available. Also, they add custom scrolling buttons via webkit-scrollbar stylings as well. We also have no way of hacking that.

The only way to fix this would be to replace the entire scrollbar with a custom webcomponent that looks like a scrollbar. However, building such a component would be significant work, and since this specific case isn't actually broken, that's not really worth it.

So, for now, this is not actionable, until we have more advanced CSS scrollbar style properties available.

This is no longer an issue we need to intervene.
