Bug Description

See attached example.

There's a page pushed into the first column of the AdaptivePageLayout.
This page contains a ListView with 1000 entries, and provides an Ubuntu.Components' Scrollbar.

When I try to hover the Scrollbar with the mouse cursor, the resizing area of the vertical divider is triggered instead.
Actually only half of the width of the Scrollbar is available for scrolling the page.

I've added UX to the bug so they can think of how this should work, as they've requested the divider area to be as it is now.

My humble opinion is that there's no clear way to get this done properly. Checking Crusader for instance the scrollbar there is always visible, and the sensing area of the divider starts right at the right edge of the scrollbar. But Crusader has thicker divider, so there is enough space to hit the divider to resize. Maybe we want something similar.

The mouse area should definitely not cover the scrollbar.
@Zsombor: can you fix that? The mouse and touch area should not have the same sensing area (probably requires adding MultiPointTouchArea, since we have no other choice in QML)

The issue with the touch area is instead more delicate, as it needs to be bigger and it will inevitably overlap the scrollbar. This one needs more thought and attention from UX design.
