Scrollbar does not extend to the last pixel on the right when window is maximized

[teo1978]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Disable the crappy overlay scrollbars in Ubuntu
2. open some file in gedit long enough to ensure scrolling
3. maximize the window
4. move the mouse cursor all the way to the right of the screen
5. click and drag up or down

Expected: should be moving the scrollbar

Observed: nothing happens. In order to grab the scrollbar you have to move a little bit to the left, because the last pixel on the right does not belong to it.

In other words, the scrollbar fails to be "infinitely wide" when it could (and hence should), making it painful to grab.

At first I thought this was generic to Ubuntu's scrollbars, but then I have tried other programs (which seem to use the standard scrollbars as far as I can tell) and they don't exhibit the issue.

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.

It is fixed in 15.04

So I guess this means it's fixed upstream and you need to check whether the fix is in place for previous non-dead ubuntu versions, such as 14.04 and 12.04

Closing as fixed as per reporter's comment #3.
