// A few of our width properties in zulip depend on the width of the
// browser scrollbar that is generated at the far right side of the
// page, which unfortunately varies depending on the browser and
// cannot be detected directly using CSS.  As a result, we adjust a
// number of element widths based on the value detected here.
