Thank you for a very useful reply. I will join 84579.

To address points in your reply and effectively close this bug #:
Most of my sheets are the maximum displayable width and the sidebar is
inconvenient, I use the toolbar.
I appreciate the recognition of the bug re: scrolling.
My vote would be for elimination of the scroll bar with a bigger window.
I'd be happy with the box around the active color and the hover to see the
name.
