It's weird. |

Sometimes, but not always, when I click in the Firefox scrollbar, it starts |
| 4 |
heading in the right direction in fits and starts of 5 pixels or so until it |
| 5 |
(finallly) reaches the end. I've mostly observed this in the downward |
| 6 |
direction, but I mostly scroll in that direction anyway so it might not mean |
| 7 |
anything. |

What's wrong about this is that a single click should not do this, and does |
| 10 |
not do this, on any other scrollbar on my machine. A single click moves the |
| 11 |
"thumb" thingie a fixed amount which depends on where you click. The worst |
| 12 |
part is that the application won't do anything else until the scrolling is |
| 13 |
finished, and the scrolling for a very tall page can take a couple of |
| 14 |
minutes. |

I keep trying to remember that dragging the "thumb" still works as expected, |
| 17 |
but clicking is an old habit that's hard to drop. |

Am I the only one seeing this? |
