Since the last security update on Safari, often when I use the back arrow to return to a previous page, the scroll bar disappears. I have checked System Preferences and the 'always show scroll bar' option is selected. I'm using macOS Monterey version 12.7.1 and Safari version 17.1. Thanks

I submitted a bug report (FB13327951) to Apple about this on November 9th. It's still an issue with Safari 17.2 as of today (December 17). I'm using macOS 13.6.1.
Everyone experiencing this bug should file a bug report using the Feedback Assistant (Applications -> Utilities -> Feedback Assistant).
Sadly this is still an issue (January 22) as of Safari version 17.3 (18617.2.4.11.9, 18617) under macOS 13.6.4.
Updating to macOS 14 resolves the issue. It's a shame Apple hasn't fixed Safari 17 to work correctly on older versions of macOS.
Thanks. I'll move on to the new OS.
