Public bug reported:

I am experiencing an Ubuntu overlay-scrollbar user interface failure.
The cursor can't be moved to the edge of the screen, and then vertically
to select the orange scroll thumb. Assuming the window is maximised, the
standard sequence for selecting a scroll thumb (to perform a full
document scroll operation) is;

1. move the mouse cursor to the right hand edge of screen
2. move the mouse cursor vertically towards the scroll thumb

This can't be done in Ubuntu. Moving the cursor diagonally is awkward
and inefficient. Nobody selects an edge of screen object in this
fashion. This is a fundamental UI design principle.

Thanks,

Richard
