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'
