It's weird.

Sometimes, but not always, when I click in the Firefox scrollbar, it starts
heading in the right direction in fits and starts of 5 pixels or so until it
(finallly) reaches the end.  I've mostly observed this in the downward
direction, but I mostly scroll in that direction anyway so it might not mean
anything.

What's wrong about this is that a single click should not do this, and does
not do this, on any other scrollbar on my machine.  A single click moves the
"thumb" thingie a fixed amount which depends on where you click.  The worst
part is that the application won't do anything else until the scrolling is
finished, and the scrolling for a very tall page can take a couple of
minutes.

I keep trying to remember that dragging the "thumb" still works as expected,
but clicking is an old habit that's hard to drop.

Am I the only one seeing this?
