Description

  1. Go to Settings app > Ease of Access > Display
  2. Clear the box next to "Automatically hide scroll bars in Windows"
  3. Launch Terminal
  4. Size the Terminal app so its left-hand NavigationView is in compact mode, but not completely hidden
  5. The scrollbars encroach on the icons on the left side: image

Apparently this is MUX bug 2376, wherein they wash their hands and point at you -- it's somehow the app's fault that this happens.

Note that the other intrusive scrollbar is MUX bug 3771, which they haven't punted yet.
