Comment 8 for bug 1516713

No, the fonts are not smaller than the line but smaller or at least hardly larger than the sensitive area (feels like about 12 pixels) near the line. As I said, you do not have to hover the line, only close enough to it.

I attached a screenshot for the Eclipse editor issue (editing a property file). For some reason it does no show the mouse cursor but I can assure you it was positioned well outside the area covered by the horizontal scroll bar. As you can see there is no way to position the cursor inside the last line (apart from using the keyboard).
