Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported (I use Trinity-Desktop which extends KDE3.) I first noticed the problem after upgrading Firefox from Mozilla's site. it came up without vertical scrollbars. I tried to sort this out by changing themes and their properties. that is likely the source of the issue. the stuff I find online offers nothing useful if you are not developing code. guidance sought.I didn't even realize Debian supported Trinity. Its not in the official repos.
my system is likely to be a hybrid, to put it delicately, as I had a Devuan base (using Jessie) and upgraded to Stretch from it.
I don't know the implications of this.
It sounds to me like you should try a supported DE and see if it is reproducible. I know XFCE uses both GTK2 and GTK3 libraries and runs these web browsers without issue. If it is not, I would file a bug report with the folks at Trinity.
I will consider this. as a matter of fact, in my struggles I feared I was going to mess things up beyond recovery so I installed xfce4 on the side (I can log into it) to continue work if I had to.
I don't remember a lot as I didn't do much there but it did run Pan and I believe FF. but I used my Windows 10 machine to research problems and eventually hit on the device of stripping out GTK3.
about possible bugs, I may check it out over the weekend. my suspicion is some conflict in themes. right now I am reluctant to test reinstall my suspects, gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity and gtk2-engine-oxygen because of time-constraints though I suppose it'd be easy enough.
