Sorry, I misread your comment and the part where you said "when not in
use". They are visible when the mouse is over the content so they are
always "in use" when I want to click the last line to put the cursor
there (which will then not work of course because I can only click on
the scroll bar).

Title:
  gtk3 overlay scrollbars consistently show wrong behaviour

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
