Changelog Entry

Description

The vertical scrollbar of the chat dialog is extremely slim and almost invisible, and disappears when mouse is outside the focus area making it nearly impossible to use the mouse to scroll up and down in a chat. Most of the time I end up grabbing the edge of the window instead, resizing instead of scrolling. See video below for issue and proposed solution.

Changed

Width for webkit-scrollbar 0.4rem -> 0.8rem (webkit design standards)
