#244 Scrollbar should work on the edge of the screen

[PK Rabbit]

Code editor has a 2px border between scroll bar and edge of the screen, so you cannot use the scroll bar if the mouse is on the edge of the screen. Currently, you have to aim at the scroll bar instead of just using the edge of the screen to scroll, as in very popular programs (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.). This would greatly improve comfort and usability.

What OS is this on. On mine clicking on the edge of the screen switches the workspace...

This happens on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu, it doesn't seem to be OS related. When maximized, the scroll bar doesn't sit exactly on the side of the screen, there's a small 2px border, so you can't just slam the mouse to the side of the screen.

The issue is pretty common in other projects, and it would be nice to bring this fix to CodeBlocks too:

OK, Does this work in any other Scintilla based editor (scite, notepad++, codelite, etc)?

There's a pull request to fix it in Notepad++, so I guess the same solution should apply:

Nope, Notepad++ is win32 api based applications, C::B uses wxWidgets...
