Amazon Q Eclipse Plugin - Missing Scrollbars Bug Report

Summary
The Amazon Q chat panel in Eclipse IDE does not display scrollbars, making it impossible to scroll through conversation history when content exceeds the visible area.

Environment

IDE: Eclipse (snap package version 131)
OS: Linux
Plugin: Amazon Q Developer for Eclipse
GTK Version: GTK+ 3.x
Steps to Reproduce

Open Eclipse IDE with Amazon Q plugin installed
Open Amazon Q chat panel
Have a conversation that generates more content than fits in the visible panel area
Attempt to scroll through chat history
Expected Behavior
Scrollbars should appear (either always visible or on hover) allowing users to scroll through the full conversation history.

Actual Behavior
No scrollbars are visible. Content above/below the visible area is inaccessible through mouse interaction.

Attempted Workarounds

Set GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 environment variable - no effect
Attempted GTK2 fallback (not supported by Eclipse launcher)
Resizing chat panel - no effect
Impact
Users cannot review previous conversation history or see responses that extend beyond the visible panel area, significantly limiting usability.

Additional Notes
This appears to be a CSS/layout issue specific to the Amazon Q chat panel component, not a system-wide GTK scrollbar configuration issue, as other Eclipse panels display scrollbars correctly.
