Konsole

SUMMARY
At some point it seems it was decided to use the terminal color scheme for the konsole scrollbar.  https://phabricator.kde.org/D11184  The way this was implemented leaves huge usability holes.  It seems to use just a darker version of the background color.  So, if someone has a dark background color (for example gray text on a black background - common for nighttime coders), the scrollbar becomes black on black.  It's indecipherable from the surroundings and downright unusable.  This is a huge regression on something super simple.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install ubuntu 20.04.  Use konsole with a black background color.

OBSERVED RESULT
Unusable scrollbar since you can't find it.

EXPECTED RESULT
A scrollbar like every other scrollbar in every other KDE app, where I can configure it in the settings used for scrollbars. 

Or, if some people like this feature, the ability to turn it on or off in the settings.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other people have also experienced this and wanted control over this behavior:

I can't replicate this on git master.

I selected several of the * on black theme from profiles. It is likely that this depends on your theme as Breeze scrollbar looks quite different to the one in your screenshot.
