understandable.

Heavily disagree, but that's a matter of personal preference, so not really
discussable

actually making it larger than visible is a massive usability issue. If you
disabled animations and thus it is always visible, grabbing the mouse event
when near but not on the scrollbar is against user expectations and thus a big
UX flaw.  Say I have a file view in dolphin and I want to start selecting
multiple items by drawing a rectangle. If I started close to a scrollbar, it
might activate the scrolling instead, even though the mouse was not over it. 
That would be very bad.

I shall patch both to the old width locally, then.
