Looks like a bug in ktexteditor -- moved the issue.

@KTE people, can you make sense out of this?

Hmm..

Marcus: It looks like the pallet that you are using has the same or almost the same color for text background and highlight... Can You confirm this? or is there something else?

We may have to think about using another palette color for the scrollbar handle...

It happens with every colorscheme. And, as I wrote, it worked fine before with Frameworks 5.13.0.
So something must have changed with 5.14.0. that introduced the bug.

This is how it looks for me

Are you using distro packages or self compiled? If distro what distro?

As you can see from my screenshot it works OK here... Kubuntu 15.04 with self compiled master of Ktexteditor and Kate

Are you able to help by compiling and debugging the issue?

Yes. I'm running Gentoo, so everything is self compiled...

Just to confirm. Bug happens when I compile and use ktexteditor-5.14.0.
With ktexteditor-5.13.0 everything is fine again. 
Configuration is identical in both cases.

    minimap: Attempt to improve the look and feel
    
    This patch attempt to make the minimap look better.
    
    * The design has been reviewed during Akademy
    * It now feel "native" in the canvas for both Breeze and Fusion
      styles. Oxygen has some hardcoded extra borders, this is a
      known limitation of this patch.
    * Improve support for darker themes. The previous implementation
      failed to properly display the visible area
    * Partially degrade the visible section view when the handle is
      at its minimum height. This could be improved later on.
    
    BUG: 309553

Reverting the commit above fixes the issue.

Can you in stead of reverting the commit change src/view/kateviewhelpers.cpp: line 513 from:

    const QColor highlightColor  = palette().highlight().color();
to
    const QColor highlightColor  = QColor("black");
or
    const QColor highlightColor  = palette().link().color();

Then you should get a scrollbar handle ;)

Nope. Unfortunately it doesn't change anything at all.

Forgot to mention that I don't use the compositor.

Found the issue... Enable scrollbar marks and it should work.
