I've not read about Firefox being GTK however it seems to respect changes to .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

I've read a blog by one of the libreoffice developers ( https://caolanm.blogspot.com/2019/10/native-gtk-dialogs-in-libreoffice.html ) where it's stated that

Over the last few major releases the GTK version of LibreOffice has increasingly had true GTK dialogs and less VCL dialogs and in master, as of this week, there are now no direct uses of the VCL dialog APIs.

libreoffice seems to respect changes to .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

GIMP is GTK (it was originally the GIMP Tool Kit) as is Gedit. (among others 
belonging to the Gnome desktop suite) Maybe try installing something like those 
and seeing what the scrollbars do.

The full screen / off full screen makes no difference. The character in the

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.
