A customer of mine was surprised to see some extra VMs in vSphere a few days ago. He never tried to scroll a list somewhere in the app and always missed the extra content because his Mac doesn't display the scrollbar. He has a laptop, so no mouse. I tweaked my Gnome desktop to always display a transparent scrollbar (only the outline is visible) so I could see that the list had extra elements.

By the way, vSphere is part of the problem. It's one of those web applications that try very hard to look like a desktop application. It doesn't use the standard HTML behavior of building a page that scrolls. It clips everything at the borders of the screen. Ironically that reduced functionality probably cost them a lot of developer time.
