I would say the rendering is expected, at least that's how Firefox has been rendering for a long time now. Question is thought, whether we should do away with the scrollbar coloring completely.

Waiting for more feedback. ❤️ or 👎 above post please whether you want custom scrollbar colors or not. Personally I don't care as MacOS overlay scrollbars are always native.

I think the vote clearly shows that people prefer default scrollbars. We shouldn't try to "emulate" anything. Let the browser decide. Can always be changed with a userstyle if people prefer.
