Description
It's extremely difficult to click the scrollbar in chat window. There are only one or two pixels that you can point with mouse to make the scrollbar active - the pointer almost immediately changes to window resize handle. It makes scrolling hard when your scroll wheel is broken or not present and some may find scrolling with mouse more user friendly than pressing PageUp/PageDown.
I'm using Windows desktop client.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Windows desktop client's chat window, focusing on the narrow scrollbar hit area and the pointer changing to a window-resize handle. Trace the chat window's scrollbar and resize behavior from the relevant desktop UI entry point. Done means the scrollbar is reliably clickable without interfering with window resizing and scrolling remains usable with a mouse.
