I don't know, zero? Maybe let's say once to be charitable.
This is not a real problem faced by most people. IMO, this is just people being used to doing it another way.
Frankly, it's broken behavior.
- scrollbars overlaying the content, rather than having dedicated space
- scrollbars that auto-hide when not in use
- scrollbars that are initially narrow, then widen when you mouse-over
- removal of the scroll buttons
That's not including the visual design changes, which are arguably important too (e.g. the scroll "thumb" now has a very flat design rather than textured so it looks draggable).
Edit to add: oh yeah, one more I forgot: in classic Mac OS the scroll thumb had a fixed size, now it reflects the size of the viewport. That one is a useful and positive change, though. Not sure where that innovation came from but it wasn't the Mac.
I agree the proportional scrollbar was good.
You cannot restore the scroll bar width or buttons.
