Description T. 2025-12-17 18:48:27 UTC 
Description:
The vertical scroll bar is unacceptably too thin. I have LibreOffice installed via dnf/rpm so I will uninstall and try the flatpak version, hopefully that will work. I would say it's about 1/3 the size of what I am used to from winidows. The scroll bar did not change width based on changing application style in settings, or by modifying ~/.config/kdeglobals. This problem is also evident in LibreOffice Calc.

It would be nice to have the option to adjust the width of the scroll bar. I am new to Linux so I don't yet have a full graph of what apps and windows follow what convention for its UI. Either way, this is something important enough that there should be a manual override via options anyway (IMHO).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a file in libreoffice writer with more than 1 page

Actual Results:
scroll bar is too thin

Expected Results:
scroll bar 3x the width


Reproducible: Always
