This is indeed very frustrating, and seems to counteract the enhanced usability that Ubuntu tries to stand for. In my attempt to come up with a usable solution, I've disabled the overlay (which means the very scroll-handle itself) entirely. The orange indicator is still there, and I can still scroll with PgUp, PgDn, and alt+trackpoint (on Thinkpad; the standard scroll wheel most likely works too). On Ubuntu 13.04, I did it like this: gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode 'overlay-touch' You can revert it by doing: gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode 'overlay-auto' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006513 Title: Srolling handle prevents window resize To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/overlay-scrollbar/+bug/1006513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
