I still have this issue in 13.10. It's not mentioned here, but there is another significant usability issue with the non-overlay scrollbars. When you click on an area above/below the scroller widget, it jumps to that location in the document instead of scrolling up/down by one page. Traditionally the jump action is only taken if you middle-click.
As mentioned in this bug, Firefox is a good resource for verifying what the normal, standard appearance and behaviour for scrollbars are. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to overlay-scrollbar in Ubuntu.

I have set them to false in the terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false However after doing so, with some apps (e.g. Nautilus, Document Viewer) my scrollbars only view a vertical bar, but no arrows on the top and bottom to scroll up and down (please find the screenshot attached for the bottom part). With some programs these are shown though, for instance Gummi and Texmaker. It would make a big difference (for instance when having to scroll pdf documents containing several hundreds of pages) to have those arrows reinstated. Moreover, it is more aestetic and adds to the pleasant working experience Unity is.
