Screenshot of extra scrollbar

Use gen backend on Linux.

1. Open a Writer document with comments, I used attachment 127323 [details]
2. Open the Comments Sidebar deck, wait some seconds, maybe move the mouse around

It reproduces pretty reliably, but the extra scrollbar does not always appear.

With the extra scrollbar we can scroll the list of comments while the Options section stays in place. I don't think this brings any value, so the structure of the .ui file should be changed.

Could not test on Windows due to bug 164576.

Now I notice that with gtk3 this is the only scrollbar available. The scrollbar to scroll the full Sidebar deck is not visible.

You didn't yet do some actions to make it appear or you were unlucky.
