When you grab the scrollbar slider with the mouse and move up and down, the scrollbar draws flicker.

Yes, this is normal: TC has to overdraw the bright scrollbar with black when receiving WM_PAINT messages. When you move the scrollbar with the mouse, Windows redraws it internally without sending WM_PAINT. Therefore I have to use a timer to regularly owerdraw the bar, which causes flickering.
The only way to prevent that is to update to a recent version of Windows 10, which has native dark scrollbar support.

And what about combobox scrolling? For example, [Configuration \ Options... \ Colors \ Others:]
And scrolls in the "Print directory" dialog [Files \ Print \ File list...]
And scrolls in the "Associate" dialog [Files \ Associate With...]
Also, Windows 7 does not support a dark theme for the context menu? [Directory HotList, Ctrl + D]

I managed to reduce the flickering by checking for pressed mouse button not only while the cursor was over the scrollbar, but also to the side of it. But I cannot eliminate it completely.
