Problem Description

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

What steps reproduce the problem?

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

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output: a full view of the console
Current output: a truncated view of the console

Hi @lisatostrams could you try to update and check if the issue remains? Thanks!

Pinging @steff456 @juanis2112 to check if they can reproduce this in the latest Spyder available
