MODERATORS
In the release notes you've linked, there's a heading called User Interface. It's a fair number of small QOL improvements.
I see nothing about making the scroll bar static, with buttons, which is impossible to have on Linux--for an application designed around scrolling pages.
This strikes me as an odd comment. Did you have a specific reason to expect that 26.2 would include this, such as an enhancement request that you'd logged (or had been following) via their community channels?
Um, no. But word processors are centered around scrolling, and all that's available is a mobile scroll, which auto-hides and has no up and down buttons. I cannot possibly be the only person who finds this problematic. Hard pass.
If you're using KDE, apparently changing your system application style might help - Breeze, for example, has an option for visible scroll arrows. Link.
In any case, it's a GTK thing, not a LibreOffice thing.
