Sorry if I did something I wasn't allowed to do. I'm not a developer, I just thought it was not a touchpad specific problem because: 1) the problem occurs not only with the touchpad but also with the mouse scrollwheel, as noted here and in bug #960089 (which I marked as a duplicate of this bug). 2) indeed, you can scroll the page, either with the touchpad or with the mouse, but only if you go with the pointer to the right edge of the page (causing the overlay-scrollbar to appear) and keep the pointer close enough to that edge (by close enough I mean within the horizontal space virtually occupied by the overlay-scrollbar). Then, you can even go up and down with the pointer and still scroll the page, the only two conditions are: the overlay scrollbar is visible (activated); the pointer does not cross the vertical line virtually drawn by the left edge of the overlay-scrollbar.
I think this is enough to tell that it's not a driver problem. But, again, I'm not a developer, and this is the best i can do to help fix the bug.
