Could there be a minimum size for the scrollbars, or, if that'd be hard

do, could the sheet tabs and draw layers be presented on a separate line,

No, please! Yet another line of wasted space?


On the other hand, a separate bar for tabs would make working with sheets
and layers much more comfortable for those who use a number of
them. Though, ideally, we should use a sidebar instead (like most vector
drawing programs + Apple's Numbers).

However, I think just setting a minimum size would be best.


Why not making these tabs and buttons float instead?


Floating tabs don't really make much sense, as the connection between the
tab and the sheet/layer is lost, and floating objects are generally not a
good idea, as they cover up material.

The navigation buttons could be moved to the status bar, though.


Anyway, I don't get why should LibreOffice fix a elementary problem.


This is not an elementary problem. The size they chose for their scrollbars
makes perfect sense for a scrollbar.
LibreOffice ignores standards and incorporates other elements into its
scrollbar, so it's our duty to fix this problem.
