0. configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars && make
1. emacs -Q
2. C-x 3
3. M-x scroll-bar-mode
4. M-: (set-face-attribute 'vertical-border nil :foreground "green")
   As expected, now the border line between the windows is green.
5. M-x scroll-bar-mode
   Unexpectedly, now the scroll bars are green.
6. M-: (set-face-attribute 'vertical-border nil :foreground "black")
   The scroll bars are still green.
7. M-x scroll-bar-mode
   Now the border line between the windows is black.
8. M-x scroll-bar-mode
   Now the scroll bars are black.

This pattern changes (to the expected behavior) when scroll-bar face is
customized:

9. M-x customize-face RET scroll-bar RET, show all attributes, check the
   Foreground box, change its value to "green", and set for current
   session.
   Now the scroll bars are green.
10. M-x scroll-bar-mode
   As expected, the border line between the windows is still black.
11. M-: (set-face-attribute 'vertical-border nil :foreground "red")
   Now the border line between the windows is red.
12. M-x scroll-bar-mode
   As expected, the scroll bars are still green.

Not reproducible on my MS-Windows machine.  Perhaps this is
toolkit-specific.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)

I tried reproducing this with Emacs 28 on Debian/bullseye, but I was
unable to.  Are you still seeing this issue in recent versions of Emacs?

Thanks for looking at this.  No, I don't see this with Emacs 28 either,
so it was apparently fixed since Emacs 24.3 and I'm closing this bug.
