More scrollbars please
I noticed one thing that really bugs me about the Wesnoth UI at the moment... the lack of scrollbars on dialogues, especially the recall dialogue.
Without a mouse with a scroll wheel, it can be a real hassle having to scroll all the way down a long list of units to recall one at the bottom.
A scrollbar that the user can drag would be a very pleasant addition

The main problem with adding a scrollbar is that we would either have to,
- implement it ourselves
- find someone else's scrollbar in SDL and add it in
Either one is going to be a time consuming process. Not that it's not worth doing, but that is the reason it hasn't been done yet.
In general many of the Wesnoth widgets are underdone -- this is because we're trying to write a game, not a gui framework
But we will try to do a better scrollbar at some point.
Do note that at the moment, you can use page up/page down to quickly scroll up and down a list.
