SUMMARY

I have just upgraded to Kubunto\u 24.04.  On the Discover app there are no scroll-bars on any pane/panel.  I am using a laptop with limited screen space.  When the window is smaller than the full height, I cannot see items at the bottom of the left-hand menu panel.   In the apps panel the list of apps can be very long.  One is forced to individually move through items with a arrow key.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the discover app
2. Attempt to scroll down the list of "All Applications" -- It cannot be done.
3. You must single step item by item -- Often you will accidentally select something you do not want and end-up on the details page.  So you need to start again

OBSERVED RESULT

No ability to scroll or otherwise move about.  Just arrow key.

EXPECTED RESULT

Normal page/panel navigation.  Tab, Scroll up/down, page up/down; Vertical and Horizontal scroll bare to suit window size and content.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This really puts me off looking for apps or basic use of Discover for the intended purpose.  If this was deliberate; I find it a truely strange choice to make an application less usable.

Lack of scroll bars is definitely a bug, not an intentional design feature. :) Please attach a screenshot; I suspect there may be broken theming involved here.
