Still no scroll bars on New Tab/Start page! Can't be just me!

Hi Mike & welcome,
"Please fix this! It can't be that difficult to fix.", Mike
The degree of difficulty is a moot point as there is nothing to fix, in the 1st place.
The old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. There is no recognition of a 'problem' needing to be 'fixed'. One can certainly & very easily scroll down the New page & view the news items without a scroll bar... there isn't one, true, nor any need, so, it isn't seen a problem needing fixing; a likely theory on how the Team may be viewing this. You can save a wee bit of scrolling by hitting the button circled below which, pulls the news up to the top & then scroll down from there for more news items. Scrolling (anywhere) does not require a bar.
Cheers,
Drew
As far as the picture goes, I don't know what you are pointing to, but if you talking about the line that starts with My Feed, then all those pages have no scroll bars either.

Too bad you sound quite upset. Any page can be scrolled with a bar or any need for one, even though you fell one is required. Pointing you to the button circled in red. As stated, it saves some scrolling as it pops the News to the top for you. Here it is again. Tip: Think you need to look a wee bit further down. Looking for ⬇ Personalized news & more button. Not, the words/links below it.- That doesn't fix the problem.
you can read my comment again to find out why.
it only solves half of the problem. the news section is still missing the scroll bar. - You're right, I am upset. I have always used Edge since the beginning and really don't want to switch to Chrome or Firefox. I have used both of them for a time and just didn't like them for various reasons. Removing something as basic as scroll bars is NOT something I would expect Microsoft to do. To me, it makes the page look unprofessional. Microsoft has a chance here to get a bigger share of the browser market, but for me, this issue is a deal breaker. Regular Edge has them, so when they ported the page to the Chromium version, something happened that removed the scroll bars. It's hard to believe that Microsoft did it on purpose.
As for the personalized news and more button, I found it, but I had to change the page settings from custom to focused. Even then, when I click on it, the page doesn't have scroll bars, so I don't think that is going to help my situation, but thanks for letting me know.
I'll just keep hoping Microsoft fixes it, so that I can go back to using one browser, instead of switching back to regular Edge to read the news.
- You're totally right. with your explanation now i fully understand your problem and it is a Valid one.
if Microsoft decided not to include a scroll bar on the new tag page for the sake of aesthetics but at least they could have added it to the news section. so when you clicked on that button and it took you to the news, a scroll bar would appear and you could use it to review the news.
i just went to main page MSN news https://www.msn.com/en-us/news
and it has scrollbar!
so for the same reason there is a scroll bar on that site, adding the same scrollbar to the news section of the new tab page is justified.
