Do the scrollbars work if you click where they should be?

Can you try loading a theme with a dark background (wombat, for
example)? They might be displaying as white on white. I don't think

before.

Failing that, do they ever appear? For example when resizing the
frame do they flicker in and out of existence or anything?
