'Python Spyder- Horizontal scrollbar in IPython console hiding the last line

When the Spyder console has displayed output too wide to view, it adds a horizontal scroll bar to the bottom. This scrollbar hides the last command line of the console, and it seems I am unable to scroll down further. It's a very minor issue but it's annoying the hell out of me.

I recorded my screen to show the issue: https://youtu.be/WYuA6Zssges

Reproduce the issue:

  1. Plot a large figure like fig,ax=plt.subplots(figsize=(15,15))
  2. Try to type a new command
  3. When you can't see the command you type, try to scroll down

Might help someone as I had the same bug when writing my code file and the horizontal bar would always hide the last line of code. It's not fixed as I hoped too but I works wonders, just right click on the code file and select the "zoom out" option (?- on mac) and you'll be able to code normally
