Overlay scrollbar: hard to know if an element is scrollable without a visual scroll bar

Project Member Reported by kathrelk...@chromium.org, Feb 3 2017

Issue description

Without the visual scroll bar, it is sometimes hard to know what's scrollable.  It's also harder to tell how far down the page you are.

I tried to get used to it when this feature was on in M57 dev, but it drove me nuts.  I expect that this change will greatly frustrate users.

I'm not aware of any change to turn this on by default. Our current implementation is not in any way ready to ship.

Right, these aren't shipping to stable yet and this is a known issue. We're gathering metrics to determine how they'll impact usability, I'll keep this open for now to track.

We always show the scrollbar when a page first loads, as well as when the scroll-height changes. This is a common pattern both across mobile and other desktop platforms. We will continue tweaking the behavior of the scrollbar, but we are not planning to have any permanent visual indicators that content is scrollable beyond it being cut off at the fold.
