Thanks, Steve.  I didn't mention the version of Thunderbird involved is 
the current 47.0b2 (beta) release, downloaded directly from Mozilla and 
installed in /usr/local.


The current version in the Fedora repo is the a non-beta version 
(thunderbird-45.1.1-2.fc24.x86_64), and it does not suffer from the 
invisible scrollbars issue.

Hi Tim,
I had the same issue with the upstream versions of Thunderbird and 
Firefox, plus also with Gedit. The css file that Tom referred to caused 
the top and bottom arrows to show in Thunderbird and Firefox but not 
with Gedit. I also had and issue with the home page of my bank when

compressed instead of their normal size, but once you logged in then

You've got me.  I don't use thunderbird, so I haven't set that.  There
should be a preference to set in configuration while it is running.  Or
there should be a value to set, like those for the scrollbars.  Since I
think Tbird is a mozilla product, is there a way to get the equivalent
of about:config in firefox?  That would let you either set the value
directly, or find its name so you could set it in the configuration file
using css.

Thanks, Stan. And if one wants to change the color that is used for
background of highlighted text?

Wouldn't you just create the file, edit it, and paste in the above
configuration commands?

e.g.
touch ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
[your text editor choice] ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
select above with mouse, put in file, clean it up, save.
Restart X or TBird to pick up the new gtk3 configuration.  Probably X.

I have just looked for such a file, but no luck:

$ more ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
more: stat of /home/psmith/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css failed: No such
file or directory
$

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Yea, everything seems to be going this route. For gtk3 apps, this
file helps me (I got it from someone else somewhere, maybe in this
mailing list):

~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

.scrollbar {
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
-GtkRange-slider-width: 15;
-GtkRange-stepper-size: 20;
