Need a scrollbar in the sidebar

[k-takata]

Is it possible to add a scrollbar in the sidebar of docs pages?
I cannot scroll the sidebar when it shows many items.

Does this help us?

Does it not scroll for you? It scrolls for me.

[masatake]

Which browser do you use?

[cweagans]

Firefox. Also works in Chromium.

There's no scrollbar, but the viewport will scroll anyway.

You can make the scrollbar visible by unsetting the hardcoded width, something like this:

.wy-side-scroll {
  width: initial;
}

I guess maybe @k-takata doesn't have a trackpad/scroll wheel.

[k-takata]

Ah, I rarely use a wheel.

I think it is a bad UI that doesn't have a scrollbar even if a pane can be scrolled. It is not easy to understand that the pane can be scrolled, and it cannot be scrolled without a wheel.

From a quick search, it looks like this accessibility issue was introduced in readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#215 which intentionally pushes the scrollbar out of reach/view.
