How to stop the scroll bar from disappearing?

The scroll button on the side that allows me to drag it and scroll through the document is always auto disappearing.

This is bad UX, as it does not appear back even when hovering the scroll bar.

that thing

how can I stop it from disappearing?

This is also a bad question: no OS name, no LO version. How do you expect any help without a minimum of technical information?

Note that this is an operating system question, if the below doesn’t help then search your OS help or forum
.
For Linux Mint, see

For Windows, click Start menu > Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects and slide switch to On for Always show scrollbars

flatpakuser → some linux other than *buntu :grinning:

But this leaves the question of the desktop…

Right, but well ackshually I use the Flatpak, which is 25.0.3 or so I think, the latest stable

Fedora 41 KDE Plasma

Even with KDE Plasma, the UI in LO can be arbitrary. It depends on the widget wrapper library. You can tell for “ordinary” install through distro repository by looking for packages libreoffice-x11, libreoffice-gtk3, libreoffice-gtk4, libreoffice-kf5 or libreoffice-kf6. But FlatPaks are stand-alone.

So, copy data from Help>About LO to know which library is referenced.
