scroll bar obscures the bottom line

[Christopher Yeleighton]

Binary package hint: gedit

Steps:
1. Open a document that does not need the horizontal scrollbar because the lines of text are not wider than the window.
2. Go to the bottom line and start typing until you reach the (right, if you are like me) margin.
3. Type a character (just one!)
> The horizontal scroll bar appears over the last line; the last line containing the cursor becomes invisible.
Reason: It is confusing. (OMG, I have lost the cursor! The manager will have to get me a new one!)
Fix: The window should grow downwards to accomodate the new scroll bar area. If that is not possible, the text pane should scroll to reveal the bottom line.

sometimes we can't find the exactly bug number since we have to deal with hundreds of reports daily, but it should be easy to look at the gtk+ reports for it, btw upstream report is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92458 and you can subscribe to it also, thanks.

Bug 197110 is a duplicate of this one because it was reported later.
