There used to be a scroll up and scroll down arrow in the scroll bar for the
document body.
They've gone.

This is using Gnome3 (Cinnamon?) desktop under Ubuntu 16.04.  But the scroll
arrows were there until I upgraded 2? days ago from 5.4 to 6.0.

In addition, when you click in the scroll bar, the thumb now jumps to that
point, rather then starting to move towards it a page at a time.  That's a nice
feature, actually.

But the inability to scroll pages quickly now makes it either a LOT of mouse
wheel scrolling, or very tricky jumping back and forward in the scrollbar, plus
mouse wheel scrolling, to find the end point for doing a large selection of the
document body.

I suppose a workaround is to remember to hold down the Shift key and to use
page up/down to make the selection.  For people with certain disabilities,
however, that may be a problem.

Please reinstate the up/down scrollbar buttons.

Ideally, with the new jump-scrolling, also add page-up/down buttons as well so
multi-page selections can be made without carpal-tunnel-inducing amounts of
mouse wheel scrolling.
