Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: overlay-scrollbar

When viewing document with a large amount pages (E.g try this one:
http://design.canonical.com/wp-
content/uploads/2010/06/EmpathyChat_CanonicalDesignResearch2.pdf ). The
Scroller is reduced to a very small and thin orange bar/strip. When you
are at page 70, for example, of that large document the Scroller is not
very easy to find (especially on a maximised window). This is a
usability issue as traditional thick scrollbars are much easier to find
when the document is large.

This could be easily fixed by invoking some action when the pointer is
moved toward the right edge of the scrollable window. There could be an
animation where the orange bit would light up with a yellow glow or
flash to draw its attention to the user. This animation would also draw
attention to the fact that the window is scrollable because as it
stands, some users new users may be confused by the new scrollbars.
