Seems to me that mainstream gnome-terminal 3.8 removed this option of scrollbar on the left. (Unfortunately Saucy will still ship g-t 3.6.)

With overlay scrollbar, setting it to 'On left-side' makes the scrollbar vanish. This option should be removed if it is not possible to set an overlay scrollbar on the left side of a window. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0-1.2-generic 3.0.0-rc3 Uname: Linux 3.0-1-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Jun 27 11:00:59 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-terminal UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-06-26 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/802412/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
