Comment 0 for bug 873036

In certain scenarios the new scroll bars cause an unexpected jump to the middle of content, irrespective of current cursor position. I first noticed this in Evolution moving between Inboxes I would always find myself in the middle of my emails instead of the top, where I was acting on current mail. After not having any luck with gnome developers reproducing, I had it happen in G-Edit and developed a simple way to reproduce this problem that happens fairly often.

1) Open G-Edit maximized and load a text file long enough that it has page scroll (2 screens is fine)
2) Put the cursor in position 1 (col 1, row 1)
3) Grab the overlay scroll bar and drag it to the bottom of the document, and overdrag it a bit so that the overlay disappears. In my case while grabbing the scroll bar (keeping the mouse button held) I just move around the lower right hand corner of my screen at the bottom of the scroll and the overlay disappears. It only works if you release the mouse after the overlay has disappeared.
4) The document is scrolled to the bottom and the overlay is gone
5) Click save (or probably any button in the toolbar)
6) The scroll jumps to the middle of the document

I have confirmed there is no way to reproduce this jump in 11.04 with non-overlay scroll bars. In Evolution, I find this behavior to be constantly annoying because I am always scrolling to the top or bottom as I change various sorts (date, name, subject, size, attachement, etc.).
