Please make scrollbars autohide - I think thats standard for modern Desktops

We should look into this.

Scrollbars are now always visible when using Desktop mode, but when using touch, become very nearly invisible--just a thin stroke remains visible against the edge of the view. We believe that this offers the kind of experience people typically expect for desktop-style user interfaces, while saving space for mobile/touch style user interfaces, but still offering a visual hint for your current position in the document, as well as the overall size of the content relative to the current view.

I don't think we intend to change this within the timeframe for Breeze.

Hmmm - in my opinion, if I turn off scrollbars in the settings I expect to see no scrollbars. Very thin scrollbars would be OK for me.

If you say people expect scrollbars on Desktop - look at Macs. No scrollbars if I turn them off. To be more precise, on Mac, I have the a setting "Show scrollbars only if scrolling". This works perfectly and does not show these ugly SBs when not needed.
