Public bug reported:
This is a general bug in GTK3 overlay scrolling (the new kind, not the
old "overlay scrollbars" feature).
When a window needs both horizontal and vertical scrolling the actual
accessible content is reduced by the size of the scrollbars that show up
when you move the mouse into the window. Normally the scrollbars are
logically outside the scrollable area and that whole are can be scrolled
into view. With overlay scrolling this is not the case because the
scrollbars OVERLAY the scrollable content, effectively making part of
that content unreachable.
In case of a text-file opened in GEDIT this means that the last text-
line will be covered by the horizontal scrollbar and you can not scroll
further down to scroll it above the horizontal scroll bar (see the
attached screenshot).
The fix would obviously be to extend the logical scroll range of both
scrollbars with the width of the other scrollbar if that exists.
