Screenshot of behaviour.

I reported this on the Arch and Cinnamon bug trackers, and they told me to report it here.

The overlay scrollbar covers up content on the right hand side of the screen. Here's an example of it in cinnamon.

Think it would probably effect Gnome, as well, if an app uses that space.

The overlay is only temporary, it is not like it permanently makes the content inaccessible. It is also see-through, so it does not even make the content entirely inaccessible when it is out.

In short, I don't think the covering is a serious problem, and applications can easily avoid it by adding a bit of padding.
