Bug Description
This is a general bug in GTK3 overlay scrolling (the new kind, not the old "overlay scrollbars" feature).
When a window needs both horizontal and vertical scrolling the actual accessible content is reduced by the size of the scrollbars that show up when you move the mouse into the window. Normally the scrollbars are logically outside the scrollable area and that whole are can be scrolled into view. With overlay scrolling this is not the case because the scrollbars OVERLAY the scrollable content, effectively making part of that content unreachable.
In case of a text-file opened in GEDIT this means that the last text-line will be covered by the horizontal scrollbar and you can not scroll further down to scroll it above the horizontal scroll bar (see the attached screenshot).
The fix would obviously be to extend the logical scroll range of both scrollbars with the width of the other scrollbar if that exists.

Thank you for your bug report, what GTK theme are you using? The bars should be thin enough (when not in use) to not cover the text, I can't confirm the issue here...
