Bug Description
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook. The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get continuously working better.
Now I have hit a problem with the new overlay scrollbars: They save space and can be easily operated with a mouse but via touchscreen they are unusable. On my convertible I have run
gsettings set com.canonical.
to turn them off and the normal scrollbars work very well via touch.
Overlay scrollbars should not be used at all on touchscreen devices or at least be turned off in tablet mode (see bug 1210823) via
gsettings set com.canonical.
and turned on again for laptop mode via
gsettings reset com.canonical.
