I see this occasionally, but, not most of the times I use these functions. What do you have for the screen refresh option? And it is one of those fun things where people complained about the refresh being triggered aggressively after a look up.
I don't have any non-Kobo devices to compare to, but, with 1163 books on my Sage, I don't see any issues. It is not as fast as my laptop or my iPad, but, I also don't expect it to be. I can scroll through the book list as fast as I can swipe the pages as fast as I can swipe. There is lag for the cover display the first time, but, that goes away once the cover has been generated. Page turning in epubs or kepubs are faster than I can move my eye from the end of the page to the start, so that is fast enough. I don't read comics except when experimenting, so, I can't comment on that.
Exactly where is the scrollbar missing? I can see it on the Collections tab and when I open a collection that has more than one page of books.
A couple of you problems make me wonder if the update did not install properly. Try manually installing the update and see if that solves things. Or if there is a difference between behaviour just after restarting the device and later.

1. Kobo Sage manually updated. No patches or hacks installed.
I turned on Wi-Fi to sync the new firmware since I was concerned about the More menu being opened erroneously. I think it’s fixed that issue.
3. Page refresh settings are every Chapter. I tried a book in English and a book in Japanese with vertical sentence style. The extreme ghosting only occurs when reading Japanese in vertical sentence style. Not sure why. However, Japanese text selection of words instead of just particles/articles has gotten better and more precise, I feel. Japanese text is fuzzy in some sentences after a highlight but fixed when I tap the screen for a refresh. I don’t know enough about font rendering to understand why this is.
4. Cover lag issue is annoying and I just have accepted that no ereader will load and display all newly added covers in one import like the Nook devices. Even Kindle lags to display covers, albeit less so than Kobo. I only mind because I’m coming from Nook experience as comparison.
5. In Collections, the list of Collection Names has no scroll bar when there are more than 10 collections. The Wi-Fi sync and restart seems to have fixed this.
I like pinch to zoom but I am having trouble getting the right size since sometimes my zoom bubble doesn’t display the potential size. I think I won’t update again until there is an international keyboard.
