Annoying TextEdit Scroll Bar in Tahoe

susukang:

This problem is already reported not only on Reddit but also on Apple Community.

At least, one annoying problem is fixed that the scroll bar keeps moving to the right, which makes some letters on the left unreadable.

Via Jeff Johnson:

TextEdit rtf documents always appears horizontally scrolled with show ruler

Always showing the scroll thumb seems to be fixed in macOS 26.4 Developer Beta 1, but it adds a new problem. Now the scroll bars look funny, with a gray background behind the rounded, gray scroll track. (Johnson sees the extra gray background with macOS 26.3, so maybe there’s some other factor that triggers it?)

Apple published source code for an old version of Text Edit https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/TextEdit/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40011741 - I compiled it from source and it shows none of the bugs of the Apple's current Text Edit.
