No, the fonts are not smaller than the line but smaller or at least hardly larger than the sensitive area (feels like about 12 pixels) near the line. As I said, you do not have to hover the line, only close enough to it.
I attached a screenshot for the Eclipse editor issue (editing a property file). For some reason it does no show the mouse cursor but I can assure you it was positioned well outside the area covered by the horizontal scroll bar. As you can see there is no way to position the cursor inside the last line (apart from using the keyboard). ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2015-11-17 11-23-20.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1516713/+attachment/4520513/+files/Screenshot%20from%202015-11-17%2011-23-20.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516713 Title: gtk3 overlay scrollbars consistently show wrong behaviour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1516713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
