ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-11-01 18:49:48 UTC 
This was an intentional change. Auto-hiding scrollbars never worked right across all apps and this was practically impossible to fix in a universal way. In the cases where it did work right, it created problems like scrollbars overlapping interactive content areas, and difficulty knowing where you were in the document because the scrollbars weren't visible. It just wasn't worth the trouble.
