Problem

In non-maximized (windowed) mode on Windows, the right-side scrollbar was nearly impossible to operate with the mouse. When users attempted to drag the scrollbar, the window resize handle would intercept the interaction, causing the window to resize instead of scrolling the content.

This issue occurred because:

  • The scrollbar was only 5-6px wide, creating a very small target area
  • The Windows resize handle extends several pixels inward from the window edge
  • These two interactive areas overlapped, making scrollbar interaction unreliable

Solution

This PR implements a platform-specific CSS fix that addresses the issue only on Windows where it occurs, using the existing body[os='windows'] selector pattern.

1. Windows-Specific Scrollbar Width

Changed the scrollbar track width from 5-6px to 10px only on Windows using platform-specific CSS selectors, providing a 66% larger target area that's much easier to interact with.

2. Windows-Specific Spacing from Window Edge

Added a 2px transparent border on the right side of the scrollbar thumb only on Windows using:

body[os='windows'] ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  border-right: 2px solid transparent;
  background-clip: padding-box;
}

This creates a buffer zone between the scrollbar thumb and the window edge, preventing the resize handle from overlapping with the scrollbar's interactive area.

Technical Details

Platform-specific implementation:

  • Windows: 10px scrollbar with 2px transparent border spacing
  • macOS/Linux: Original 5-6px scrollbar (unchanged)

Visual breakdown (Windows only):

  • Total scrollbar width: 10px
  • Visible scrollbar thumb: ~8px (with 2px transparent spacing)
  • Actual interactive area: 10px (entire width is clickable)
  • Space from window edge: 2px minimum

Files Modified

  • src/renderer/src/assets/styles/scrollbar.css - Added Windows-specific scrollbar rules using body[os='windows'] selector
  • src/renderer/src/assets/styles/responsive.css - Added Windows-specific width override using body[os='windows'] selector

Testing

Tested scenarios:

  • ✅ Scrollbar interaction in windowed mode on Windows (easy to grab and drag)
  • ✅ No accidental window resizing when using scrollbar on Windows
  • ✅ macOS and Linux scrollbars remain unchanged (5-6px)
  • ✅ Maximized mode continues to work correctly
  • ✅ Consistent behavior across all scrollable areas

Benefits

  • Targeted fix: Only affects Windows where the issue occurs
  • Improved usability: Wider scrollbar is significantly easier to target and grab on Windows
  • Prevents accidental resize: Clear separation between scrollbar and window resize handle on Windows
  • Maintains design intent: macOS and Linux keep the original minimalist scrollbar design
  • Follows existing patterns: Uses the same body[os='windows'] selector already used elsewhere in the codebase
  • Clean aesthetics: Transparent border maintains the minimalist design
  • Better maintainability: Clear separation of platform-specific concerns

Bug Description

In non-maximize mode, the operable area of the scrollbar on the right side of the window is too small and is covered by the window resizing operation, making it impossible to drag the scrollbar with the mouse.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open a conversation whose length exceeds the screen (requires scrolling).
  2. Restore the chat window from maximized mode, ensuring there is free space on the right side so you can resize the window.
  3. Try using the mouse to operate the right-hand scrollbar.

Expected Behavior

Separate the interactive areas for window resizing and scrollbar dragging in windowed mode

Changed to use body[os='windows'] selector instead of modifying the global value. The wider scrollbar and spacing now only apply on Windows platform. Commit: 787585f

Instead of modifying scrollbar width globally, use body[os='windows'] selector to apply wider scrollbar (10px) and spacing (2px transparent border) only on Windows platform. This addresses the window resize handle overlap issue specifically on Windows while maintaining the original scrollbar width (5-6px) on other platforms.
