This is what gestures are for. Scrollbars are there primarily for notifying
you of the length of a document and where you are in it. For touch screens,
you have a scroll gesture (a flick or two finger drag to move content); for
desktop interfaces (which Unity is designed for) you have a scroll wheel on
mouses, two finger drag on touch pads, and the handle for if you just have
an absolutely basic mouse from ages ago.

Ubuntu is not a touch OS. That, to me, seems like an edge case especially.

Thanks for reading!
