Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Is it just me, or is it complete usability madness to allow moving the
scrollbar to the left side of the window? Also, allowing to disable it
altogether seems equally non-standard.

What is the rationale for this behaviour?

My suggestion is to put the scrollbar on the right side, and removing
all such preferences. And it should only be visible when needed, as in
most other text fields in most other applications.
