The full screen / off full screen makes no difference. The character in the scroll bar up/down buttons is missing.

So far I've now looked at three GTK3 based applications - gnucash, libreoffice and firefox.

For all three applications, I can alter the width of the scrollbar by editing the appropriate settings in the file .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

 * gnucash under normal circumstances doesn't have the up/down
   character in the button at either end of the scrollbar. When a
   dialog is started a character does appear in the up/down buttons of
   the scrollbar, but incorrectly it contains left/right chevrons in
   the buttons.
 * libreoffice doesn't have any up/down character in the button at
   either end of the scrollbar, even if i start one of its dialogs.
 * firefox does have the correct up/down characters in the button at
   either end of the scrollbar.

firefox is interesting  in that it appears to be behaving correctly, so it might give me a handle on what the problem is.

Is your main window set to full screen?

If so, do the buttons appear properly when you take it off full screen?

A quick work around might be to size the window to fill the screen but not use 
the full-screen setting. Then you know where to look for a setting or report a 
bug to either GTK or Plasma.

Do your QT apps behave the same way?

Hi everyone

My system is

   Slackware Current
   KDE5 Plasma

with

   gtk+3    3.24.14
   linux    5.4.25
   gnucash  3.8

I have a config file .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css which contains the folllowing

@import 'colors.css';

scrollbar {
   -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
   -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
}

scrollbar, scrollbar button, scrollbar slider {
    min-width: 24px;
    min-height: 36px;
This gives me a wide vertical scroll bar with a block at each end where the up 
and down arrows for the scrollbar are supposed to go, under normal operation 
the blocks are blank/empty they don't contain the up/down arrows.

If I click the blocks at each end of the scroll bar they behave as scrolling up 
and down as would be expected.

If I open up a dialog like File->Properties the character < appears in the top 
block and the character > appears in the bottom block of the vertical scroll bar. 
When the dialog is closed these characters disappear.

So two questions

1. How do I get the correct characters to appear at each end of the
   scrollbar i.e. the upward pointing arrow and the downward pointing
   arrow?
2. How do I get these characters to display under normal operation i.e.
   other then when displaying a dialog box?

Thanks
