Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
PROBLEM
In Natty's standard Ubuntu (Unity) desktop, the gedit scrollbar -- unlike the ones on Evolution and Terminal -- is not flush with the right-hand edge of the screen. Because of how narrow it is, and how well its colors blend into the surrounding window controls, this makes it difficult to click-and-drag.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. Load gedit.
2. Maximize gedit.
3. Hold down "Enter" until the scrollbar appears.
4. Try to scroll by clicking and dragging.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Unity apps will have consistent scrollbar behavior when full-screened, and will comply with Fitts' law and accessibility / usability guidelines in general.

Scrollbar in Gedit is not flush with window edge in unmaximized mode either, so I think this is a Gedit issue, not Ubuntu or Unity. The same thing applies to Libreoffice too and I'm sure there are other software out there with the same design issue. System Monitor or Synaptic for example has the scrollbar even further inside the window.
