Description
take any application in Ubuntu and shrink the size of it from full screen to say the size of a cigarette pack for argument sake.
notice how on neither the left or the right side of the window you just created there is no scroll bar to move the application around inside the window you just created.
nor is there a scroll bar at the top or bottom to move the application round to left or right in side the window you just created.
in other words if you want to have 2 or 3 or 4 apps running inside the same screen you can only work with one at a time usually as you have to maximize the screen.
this is a major setback :-((

That is a problem with the individual application(s), and not the window manager (e.g. Gnome). The application is responsible for its display, and (if it is well-written) not let you resize the window smaller than a certain amount, or add scrollbars when appropriate. If it does neither, then it's a bug that should be reported to the applications' developers.

As robrwo said, this is an application problem.
I have seen this on screens using lower resolutions with apps such as qemu.
I think that most applications should be sized appropriately for the screen resolution (some Windows apps don't even do this) most of the time, as scroll bars can be annoying in some cases.
If you find an app that has this kind of problem, it would be best to find the developer's website. On the other hand, if Ubuntu devs were responsible for the package, you should make an effort to contact those responsible.
