In Windows release 2.5.5 is back to one scrollbar but the range is limited to a group around the last or currently selected transaction. Thus to see transactions further away than in the current group one must first manually and repeatedly select a transaction near the end of the group to get closer to the desired range. Eventually you might get there. I have entered a bug for this.
