When started in drop-down mode the scrollbar setting is ignored. It can be changed in preferences but opening a new tab ignores the setting. In Preferences 'Scrollbar is' was set to disabled. The scrollbar wasn't visible. Opened a new tab and the scrollbar was present. Edited preferences to change to either other option and then changed back to disabled and the scrollbar was removed. Opened a new tab with Ctrl+Shift+t and the scrollbar is present. Tested on Korora (Fedora) 24 in Xfce ver 4.12.
I cannot reproduce the issue as you described it - new tab respects scrollbar setting for me (I'm using the latest git version). But, I noticed another thing - if I disable scrollbar, it will still appear after window redraw, i.e. after it's been minimized to status bar icon and restored. I will take care of that.
Show menubar/toolbar settings are also lost on redraw.

Sorry, I've no experience building from git
(In reply to Jim from comment #4) > Sorry, I've no experience building from git That's ok. Then please wait for the next release - I'm pretty sure it will have your issue resolved.
Thanks for your quick response
