illustrating scrolling issue

eclipse does not deal at all with those nasty scrollbars of gtk3, that only apppear on hover.
instead, those scrollbars overlay entries which are thus virtually unreachable.

see attached screenshot: the twister below the scrollbar cannot be used -- if i am over it, the scrollbar interferes.

since those scrollbars are a good deal older than eclipse neon, i fail to understand how this could happen -- fireforx, for example, does not exhibit this malfunction

This is an SWT issue. Thanks for reporting.

Which version of GTK is the screen shot from? On my system the overlay only covers about half of the bottom check box. Even with the overlay showing I can still select the check box, though it's also easy enough to check the bottom most box without triggering the overlay to appear.

OS: Fedora 24
GTK: 3.20
Eclipse: 4.6 using SWT from master

libgtk-3-0: 3.20.6-2

i very much doubt, the height of the overlay depends on the version -- ususally this is part of a theme.

SWT should either disable the overlay and do something sensible (as firefox does, and which i for one prefer), or it should check if the overlay is enabled and make sure that all elements always are outside the area covered.
