Do the scroll bars narrow because of a Windows feature, or is it coded by Bluebeam?

The Microsoft trend is to have scroll bars become narrow or invisible when you're not hovered over them, but that removes valuable "place" info and makes it harder to click onto the bar to drag it, and the space freed up by the missing scroll bar isn't used for additional viewing real estate - it's just wasted space that no longer conveys information. Bluebeam does better with this - at least the scroll bars just narrow instead of disappearing completely, but to a similar effect as Microsoft's. Can the scroll bars just be left full width?

The hiding of scroll bars is easy to address in Windows: Start→Settings→Accessibility→Always show scrollbars to on. Bluebeam sets visibility of scroll bars in Preferences→General on the Navigation tab.

Otherwise, it looks like Microsoft decided that narrow scroll bars are the future and no, you may not have them wider. It's possible to use third party software (WinAero Tweaker) or edits in the Windows registry to change the width. If you're on a company machine, IT is not likely to allow those changes.

It seems that software developers do have some ability to override the Windows settings, but I don't see that Bluebeam has done that or at least made it modifiable by the user.
