RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Recording of using the reproducer from the description, showcasing the scrollbar bug.
Description of problem:
See WebKit bugzilla ticket: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234874
We observe broken scrollbars with disabled overlay scrollbars in Eclipse, see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=546870
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=278446 (screenshot)
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=278447 (recording)
Screenshot and recording from the Eclipse bugs are from RHEL 7.4, where the behavior was slightly different. On RHEL 7.9+, the scrollbars are "represented" by black bars; on RHEL 7.4 (and RHEL 7.2 I believe), the area of the scrollbars has painting artifacts.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.0 Beta (Plow)
gtk3-3.24.30-3.el9.x86_64
webkit2gtk3-2.32.3-2.el9.x86_64
How reproducible:
Run snippet provided below.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an .html file "javadoc.html" to display, with contents:
<html>
<head>
<style CHARSET="ISO-8859-1" TYPE="text/css">
html { font-size: 10pt; }
</style>
</head>
<body style="overflow:scroll;" text="#1a1a1a" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h5>
<div style='word-wrap: break-word; position: relative; margin-left: 20px; padding-top: 2px; '>
<a href='invalid_link'>
<img alt='Open Declaration' style='border:none; position: absolute; width: 16px; height: 16px; left: -21px; ' src='file:invalid_path.png'/>
</a>void <a class='header' href='invalid_link'>java</a>.<a class='header' href='invalid_link'>io</a>.<a class='header' href='invalid_link'>PrintStream</a>.println(<span style='font-weight:normal;'></span>int x)
</div>
</h5>
<br><p>Prints an integer and then terminate the line. This method behaves as
though it invokes <code><a href='invalid_link'>print(int)</a></code> and then
<code><a href='invalid_link'>println()</a></code>.<dl><dt>Parameters:</dt><dd><b>x</b> The <code>int</code> to be printed.</dd></dl>
</body>
</html>
2. Create the GTK3 snippet "browser.cpp" with contents:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <webkit2/webkit2.h>
static void destroyWindowCb(GtkWidget* widget, GtkWidget* window);
static gboolean closeWebViewCb(WebKitWebView* webView, GtkWidget* window);
// gcc -g browser.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs webkit2gtk-4.0 gtk+-3.0` -o BrowserExample && ./BrowserExample
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
// Initialize GTK+
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
// Create a window that will contain the browser instance
GtkWidget *main_window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(main_window), 400, 300);
// Create a browser instance
WebKitWebView *webView = WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(webkit_web_view_new());
// Put the browser area into the main window
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(main_window), GTK_WIDGET(webView));
// Set up callbacks so that if either the main window or the browser instance is
// closed, the program will exit
g_signal_connect(main_window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(destroyWindowCb), NULL);
g_signal_connect(webView, "close", G_CALLBACK(closeWebViewCb), main_window);
// Load a web page into the browser instance
webkit_web_view_load_uri(webView, "file:///home/sandreev/javadoc.html");
// Make sure that when the browser area becomes visible, it will get mouse
// and keyboard events
gtk_widget_grab_focus(GTK_WIDGET(webView));
// Make sure the main window and all its contents are visible
gtk_widget_show_all(main_window);
// Run the main GTK+ event loop
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
static void destroyWindowCb(GtkWidget* widget, GtkWidget* window)
{
gtk_main_quit();
}
static gboolean closeWebViewCb(WebKitWebView* webView, GtkWidget* window)
{
gtk_widget_destroy(window);
return TRUE;
}
3. Run the snippet with command line, disable overlay scrollbars:
export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 && gcc -g browser.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs webkit2gtk-4.0 gtk+-3.0` -o BrowserExample && ./BrowserExample
Actual results:
The scrollbars are not displayed correctly. There are black bars instead of scrollbars, for most window sizes. If the window is small enough to actually require scrollbars (if overlay scrollbars were enabled) scrollbars seem to be fine.
Expected results:
The scrollbars are displayed correctly.
Additional info:
The broken scrollbars are not always seen (e.g. with .html from bug 234871, scrollbars are fine if steppers are disabled). Something in the .html snippet above seems to cause the bug; for variations of the .html (e.g. remove font size styling) I see normal scrollbars (with Adwaita theme). Maybe its the amount of text and its formatting, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure how the changes relate to WebKit.
