I would wait a bit. Any bug in scroll logic is a very big one that could
cause much pain and suffering, since any such bug can prevent the
debugger from opening. Best if just a few people let it "steep" in a few
people's images for awhile first -- people who can handle it when
critical display logic goes awry once in a blue moon.
A side note: The ScrollPane permits overriding system prefs after the
pane has been instantiated. So why not turn #alwaysHideHScrollBar on by
default, but make a few exceptions for special cases? For instance, the
FileList is a bit hard to use w/out the hScrollbar, so just hard code
"dirList hideHScrollbarIndefinitely: false" in the file list code. Guess
you'd have to change the name of the pref to "usuallyHideHScrollBar" in
that case.
