Please change the power bi desktop scrollbars on the report canvas.

These things are so small and difficult to click on.

Is it possible to add a handle?

I've searched the forum high and low to see if a change was implemented regarding controlling scroll bar size/thickness, and couldn't find anything to suggest it was... Puh-lease widen the scroll bar or give the developers the option to. They are way too thin... my report consumers have asked numerous time about this.

Have you ever tried to click the scroll bar only to click an item in a list that filters all of the other tables? That's what happens to me frequently.

This is a major frustration for our users. Anything that can be done to increase the scroll bar size would be appreciated.

I've just been asked about this by someone wanting me to improve the accessibility of a report. This person struggles with clicking on the scroll bar because of how narrow it is, even in full screen view, and apparently their scrolling software and screen reader software doesn't work with it. This is a major issue for people with disabilities relating to eyesight.

Absolutely make this customizable; I have too many users on smartphones that get frustrated trying to scroll.

Yes! The UI is generally not very well thought out. We aren't gamers who hit headshots on the tiniest pixels. We need a efficient UI.
