(I meant "thinner or wider".)

But now I can reproduce it.  I normally run with scroll-bar-mode
switched off, and then I can adjust the width of windows.  However, with
scroll-bar-mode switched on, I can't adjust the width any more.

With window-divider-mode switched on, I can adjust the width, but with
both the divider and the scroll bars there, the separation between
windows is very thick.

So I think there's a bug here; i.e., you should be able to adjust the
width of the windows even if there's (just) a scroll bar there.  But
perhaps this is a toolkit restriction?
