The Options->Show/Hide->Scroll-bar menu functions correctly -- when you press any of the five radio buttons, the result is what it should be -- but the UI is broken. With -Q the vertical scroll bar is on the right, there is no horizontal scroll bar and the menu shows the radio button "None-horizontal" [sic] pressed. If you press any of the other buttons in that menu, the scroll bars change accordingly, but the menu continues to show the same "None-horizontal" button pressed. The attached patch fixes this UI glitch. In addition, I find the current scroll bar menu somewhat incoherent and the patch offers an improvement (IMO): the radio buttons are confined to the vertical scroll bar, and the two buttons for the horizontal scroll bar are replaced by a single check box toggle, and a separator is added to visually emphasize that two UI components are involved. While I was looking at the Show/Hide menu, I noticed that the spelling there is not consistent with the convention of the Emacs manual, which uses "scroll bar", "tool bar" and "menu bar" without hyphenation. So the patch changes the spelling of these in the menu and tooltips too.

Fix and improve UI of scroll bar menu
In addition, since the Emacs manual writes "scroll bar", "tool
bar" and "menu bar", use this convention in the Show/Hide menues
and tooltips as well.
* lisp/menu-bar.el (menu-bar-showhide-scroll-bar-menu): Make
pressing a radio button in the menu actually show that it was
pressed. Replace the two radio buttons to turn the horizontal
scroll bar on and off with a single check-box toggle and add a
separator between this and the vertical scroll bar radio
buttons.
(menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu):
(menu-bar-showhide-menu):
(menu-bar-mode): Use conventional spelling.
