I agree that issue with the scroll bar jumping all over is really annoying! It is actually a feature of Gnome and GTK. It can be changed by editing a file:
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings] gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
You may have to create this file. Firefox is a good GTK application to verify that the setting works. I use it on a CentOS 7 system which uses LXDE for the desktop.
In Fedora there is an item in Settings which can control this. It is in the System Settings application: Appearance - Application Style - Gnome Application Style and is called "On left-clicking the scroll bar".
As for your first question, I do not know how to get the arrows back. I have not missed them.
