For the record, GNOME 3 has nothing to do with this bug.  It
depends only on whether the Ubuntu “overlay scrollbars” are
enabled, which is the default even on GNOME 3.  You must set the
environment variable to disable them (or actually uninstall the
liboverlayscrollbar package).

I don't specify settings manually to run gschem; I just globally
disabled those nasty overlay scrollbars by creating the file

  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

with the following line in it:

  export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0

I think the patch Peter posted is intended to fix the problem
without requiring you to disable the overlay scrollbars.  I haven't
tested it, however.

Regards,
Colin
