This happens all the time for me.

When the page scrollbar is thin, and one of the page-width elements in the page also has a scrollbar on the right?

I am fighting on both mobile AND the desktop!

It’s extremely bad UI design when even on the desktop browser with a mouse and keyboard, I end up fighting to grab the page scrollbar.

And it’s not the page designers fault here.

A bad default that has to be edited by hand, in a tucked-away location.

This is awful.
