10.7: ScrollBar AREA not showing

I have been so frustrated with not being able to see the AREA that encloses the scrollbars. So I didn't know if I was really at the top or where to click for a page scroll. After much reading I thought this was a change Apple had made. Until I took a snapshot of the screen and saw that they were really still there.

I discovered that if the Contrast setting under Universal Access is not on Normal, the outline around the scrollbar does not show at all.

[crarko adds: I use an adjusted Contrast so I see the same thing. Not seeing the enclosing area isn't a big deal to me, but this at least explains it.]
