The RMB behaviour is surreal (that is, there's no good reason for it to
exist at all).
The LMB is correct: click on the uncovered region of a scrollbar always
means "scroll a page", in every application in the world, ever ;)
We should just delay the page scroll a little. Far more important is
fixing the selection behaviour though - it's totally unusable.
Note the user can still drag the scrollbar handle to target a
particular position
