New Scroll bar appears in cells with more than 300 lines

Hi,

In a Databricks notebook, I noticed a new behaviour which I'd like to deactivate.

Essentially, when a cell reaches 300 lines or more, a new scroll bar within the cell appears. I'd rather have the cell displayed in full and keep using the page scroll bar.

I'm not sure whether that's a new feature or maybe I just didn't notice because I haven't been working with larger cells recently, but do you know if there is a way to deactivate this feature?

IMO it makes it much harder to navigate the notebook with the dual scroll bars.

Thank you!

Hi @ToNiOZ45 ,

Unfortunately, there's no option to disable it in workspace settings. You can create ticket in Databricks Ideas and suggest them to add that option if you find this scroll bar frustrating:
