16:24:38 [Lionel_Wolberger]
MichaelC: Scroll bar width, Paul put in a comment and generated some debate
16:25:35 [Lionel_Wolberger]
PaulG_: In the discussion, the trend is to assume that we cannot influence browser behavior
16:26:01 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... I advocated for adding thick
16:26:29 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... Browsers are bad at detecting when scroll bars are needed
16:26:49 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... "thin" is in the spec, but "thick" was shot down
16:27:12 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... the justification is the use of the spec when that is not a feature that they want authors to control, that is not appropriate
16:27:40 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... since APA has not said that thick is generally required, they have nothing to point to
16:27:55 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: can't users override CSS, and a user could request 'thick'?
16:28:04 [Lionel_Wolberger]
PaulG_: Sounds good to me, but not to them
16:28:05 [Lionel_Wolberger]
C
16:28:40 [Lionel_Wolberger]
MichaelC: Sounds like they are ignoring an a11y issue for reasons that are not very well founded
16:28:55 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: We had a use case as well: on zoom, this would be needed
16:29:18 [Lionel_Wolberger]
PaulG_: They retort that zoom is handled by zoom, the browsers can have a setting that scroll bars grow with zoom or remain as-is
16:29:33 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... all of the above is in the browsers' hands, and not in the CSS
16:30:20 [Lionel_Wolberger]
PaulG_: We could assert a AAA requirement that a widget's scrollbars could be thickened with CSS
16:31:10 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: AAA is a 2.x specification for WCAG, it's likely late for 2.2
16:31:20 [becky]

16:31:51 [PaulG_]
the "reel" https://every-layout.dev/layouts/reel/
16:31:58 [Lionel_Wolberger]
MichaelC: I do see that it is browser developers pushing back in that discussion
16:32:12 [IanPouncey]
IanPouncey has joined #apa
16:32:41 [Lionel_Wolberger]
PaulG_: How could it be a AAA issue without a CSS method to control it? Implies needing a ton of JS
16:33:10 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: Use case, designing an exam for low vision people. The page is designed to have large text, and that population would want the thick scrollbar.
16:33:56 [Lionel_Wolberger]
IanPouncey: Leaning on WCAG for this has an issue, as they dont rely on browser defaults (similar issue with placeholder text)
16:34:31 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Add this to the agenda of the group meeting
16:35:44 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: We could say, if 'thin' was a mistake and you do not want thin & wide, then remove 'thin'
16:36:19 [Lionel_Wolberger]
MichaelC: Recording that APA thinks our use cases are enough of a reason to address this, and we should meet at TPAC

FredrikFischer: The only note I had was the accessibility is used as a word meaning "available" or "connected." It would avoid confusion if the note used another word
16:56:37 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: availability is a generally accepted word for this concept. So APA should point this out.
16:57:42 [Lionel_Wolberger]
FredrikFischer: I will communicate this to them.
