Bug Description
Vertical Scroll-Bar covers the first letters on Right to Left languages on any text editor *if editor's window maxmized*.
Using a Right to left language (ex: Arabic & Hebrew), on some text editor like 'gedit'.
This causes the writer of such languages to be unable to reach the first letters with cursor(i.e. selecting a line from the beginning.
Screenshot: https:/
Reproduction Steps:
1. Use an RTL language like Arabic to type a bunch of letters in many lines(to cause the H-Scroll Bar to appear)
2. Try to select line the face the H-scrollbar with your cursor.
3. You'll, instead, click to the left of the Scrollbar then use your arrows to reach the very beginning of the line.

This is a tricky scenario. We need more input from the overlay-scrollbar developers on this one
