I'm using gedit on Ubuntu 16.10 and this problem has irritated me for enough Ubuntu releases to finally complain about it. The last line at the bottom of a document is really difficult to select. The cursor so easily triggers the scroll bar instead of selecting text since the trigger area for the scroll bar overlaps by about a 1/2line overlap on the text. Same goes for the side. I think bug 808516 is similar to this bug except with the vertical scroll bar (which isn't such a problem for our left to right usage). Same problem in Nemo and Nautilus trying to select the last file. Firefox on the other hand forces persistent fixed width scrollbars so there is no problem there. Is there a way to get other apps to behave like Firefox?
