Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.6 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected. You do not have access to this yet.
Not really an 'issue', more a cosmetic thing. We might look into it later, unsure if you can even control this from AWT.
Confirmed
As far as I know (and God knows I've tried), there's no way to get Java to use the new autohiding scroller.

I did notice that the crash window (where you get the log) actually has a hide-y scrollbar.

It is still an issue, and I have updated accordingly.
Of course this isn't a very pressing issue, but 1.3.9 could be included if you like...
Not an issue.
Scroll on mac is also less fluent
Jayden Irwin, they're not fixing this; it's too much work to implement a native OS X scrollbar.
Jayden what does that even mean...
Since I really enjoy writing UIs with Swing I'll keep my eye out for any practical implementations of the native scrollbar. Will post here if I find anything.
He means that the new scrollbar implemented in 1.3.11 uses (for lack of the correct language) "integer" scroll positions instead of "floating point" scroll positions. The scrollbar is stepped, not smooth.
