Title:
  The overlay scrollbars are not touchscreen-friendly

Status in Overlay Scrollbar:
  New
Status in overlay-scrollbar package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook. The tablet mode
  (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get continuously
  working better.

  Now I have hit a problem with the new overlay scrollbars: They save
  space and can be easily operated with a mouse but via touchscreen they
  are unusable. On my convertible I have run

  gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal

  to turn them off and the normal scrollbars work very well via touch.

  Overlay scrollbars should not be used at all on touchscreen devices or
  at least be turned off in tablet mode (see bug 1210823) via

  gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal

  and turned on again for laptop mode via

  gsettings reset com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode
