Because, as I responded there, I couldn't reproduce the problem.

I still cannot reproduce this.  maybe this has something to do with
the display settings?  Like HiDPI, perhaps?

What is the value of scroll-bar-width recorded in the desktop file,
and what does the below yield if you type it after "C-x 3" before
saving desktop?

  M-: (frame-parameter nil 'scroll-bar-width) RET

Adding Cecilio, in case he has an idea why this could happen, or can
suggest a way to debug this.
