We recently kind of went down the path of our own scroll bar in one of our app forms because users wanted the scroll to behave in a very specific way. It was impossible to make it work as expected in all the OS and browsers.
We eventually rolled back the change, restored the native scroll bar and instead provided a big optional floating scroll button in the bottom corner of the app which user can choose to use to scroll the way they expected to. Kept everyone happy.
Thanks, we really wanted to get the scrolling right so I'm glad it shows.

Doesn't it feel good to remove a bunch of "hacky code" and just go back to native? Even if it's not 100% like you imagined, at least you know that the other "perfect solution" never really existed.
