Pulled from bug 37480 comment 17. 5) low: i think a scrollbar for the palette color list would be suitable, as presently there isnt any indication that their are more colors in the list than what is currently being seen. And if i select a color at the bottom of the scrolled list, when i reopen the popup, it wont show it selected.
Created attachment 107214 [details] Win7x64 screenshot hi Jay, here's my screenshot from 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: faf99f6f405e076d5c9ab95c876ae1ffb896f8d1 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-09-26_09:41:28 I see a scrollbar on the right, where is the bug you are reporting?
Maybe this bug is limited to linux then (attachment 107210 [details]).
looks like Linux only indeed
Yes this seems to be a linux only issue and will happen in some themes. It happens in clearlooks, crux, high contrast, industrial, oxygen-gtk, raleigh, redmond, and xfce themes on linux mint 17 xfce.

As per comment 5, confirmed. Status set to NEW. Component set to UI.
Just confirmed on Windows 7 that the color picker doesnt have scrollbars for me.
Created attachment 107338 [details] no scrollbars on Windows 7
I tested in on the Windows Classic and Windows 7 Basic themes. Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: f33002aa5de7e88960e7c21286a661c89fd478c7 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-04_03:31:18
Well the scrollbars are now appearing on Windows and Linux for me. I believe Matthew might have fixed this issue as we had talked about this issue on IRC a few days back. Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: c68642d535f2ebb7f1cd866ad19b1fd018e7cd6d TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-18_23:03:32 .4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4b71bb35a7c04fef4ed86591d8892a29c4150c0b TinderBox: Win-x86@51-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2014-10-19_01:56:13 The only thing that needs to be adjusted is the right padding between the scrollbar and the edge of the drop down, so that it is the same as the left side. On linux, there is an 8 pixel padding on the left and a 2 pixel padding on the right. On Windows there is 7 pixels on the left and 3 pixels on the right. So if an addition 5 pixels can be added to the right. That would be the best possible fix.
After the fix to bug 85416, the scrollbars have disappeared again. Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: c91e045c12ac5dffc20c04c6f97db4892c1e558d TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-31_01:07:08 Its not showing for me on Linux Mint 13 Mate [Clearlooks] or Windows 7 [Basic]. On Windows 7, the scrollbar does appear (though half cut) in Classic and it shows fine in Aero.

Okay scrollbar are now appearing in Windows 7 Classic, but the dialog still needs 5 pixels added to it width so that it has the same padding on its right and left.
@Jay: Technically that's another bug, can you please file a new bug for that?
(In reply to Jay Philips from comment #14) > Okay scrollbar are now appearing in Windows 7 Classic, but the dialog still > needs 5 pixels added to it width And what does that have anything to do with Jürgen’s scrollbar work? The padding was uneven before his commit. Please don’t reopen bugs like this, I think you were already told. That said, moving this to VERIFIED.
My apologize. I had told tommy that we could fix the right padding issue with this bug and the bottom padding issue with the button bug. So i've opened a new bug for both padding issues (bug 86159).
