--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
How the scrollbar works is defined by the operating system/desktop environment
and messing around with those defaults always ends in a much worse scenario.
And actually the _thumb_ behaves exactly as you describe on my system (LXQt,
KWin, Breeze): it becomes smaller with increasing number of pages, but only up
to around 200. After that it remains large enough to easily deal with it.
Admitted that scrolling to a particular position is not fun.

The issue boils down how to deal with large documents. And as Stuart pointed
out we have the Navigator for this purpose. Plus the newly introduced dialog
Edit > Go to page (ctrl+G). You have also a lot of other supportive functions
to find a certain position, for instance bookmarks or a table of contents with
links.
