horizontal scrollbar overlays & obsures bottom line of window

[Doug McMahon]

Limited affect & generally can be worked around by resizing window but it should do a better job somehow. When line is obsured it can not be highlighted or clicked on.
Seen easily in gedit & synaptic, 2 attached picture show in gedit

Thanks but I'm unsure to understand what you are asking for. If a scrollbar needs to be displayed it has to have a width and take up space on screen? where would you display it instead?

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

It should go below. in the past Ubuntu's overlay horizontal did that, as did the gtk one. ex. of synaptic's in screens

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I'm unsure what you mean "the gtk one. ex. of synaptic's in screens", but I guess the difference is that with traditionnal scrollbar they would take space on screen so nothing would be under them so they would not restrict access to elements...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Try current light-themes (uploaded today), it has thinner bars.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

That's better, access is easier
(- though maybe introduced a new issue, if not known i'll do a bug -
When a window has horizontal scrolling available - after a top to bottom
vertical scroll, then pressing the shift key causes a horizontal scroll
to far right.
