Bug Description

In case of normal scrollbars, when I mouse over a horizontal scrollbar and use the mouse wheel, the horizontal scrollbar moves. this saves me from the click and drag operation.
However, as far as I tested, overlay scrollbars do not have this feature. This reduces their usability in some use cases. For example, the attached screenshot shows a horizontal scrollbar in synaptic. If I need to see the full lines, I can no longer use my mouse wheel.

I would say let's enable that for vertical too ;-)
It was already in the scope, but I forgot to add the bugreport.
Thanks

In case of vertical scrolling, it is not that big a nuisance, because mousewheeling over the content does the job.
Other than this, the scrollbars work pretty well. Keep up the good work :)
