Exactly the same as you - when I grab the scrollbar thumbtrack, instead of the events being processed by the scrollbar widget the events appear to be processed by the main page of the application, such that when I drag the thumbtrack DOWNWARDS the page scrolls UPWARDS (and vice versa). To ensure this doesn't happen, it's best to click on the thumbtrack and only drag once it turns orange (using the default theme) - obviously this is sub-optimal as it can take a short while (perhaps half a second) for the thumbtrack to turn orange and the wait - brief as it is - interrupts the flow of what I am doing.

It's a situation that certainly needs improving and I don't recall seeing a bug in Bugzilla for this particular issue, but then scrollbar issues in the past have tended to peter out with no conclusion as they have an uncertain future and nobody seems able to publicly declare what is happening to them (disappearing completely, going fat, going thin, fat & thin etc.).

I imagine if someone opened a bug for this problem it would be ignored, or at best closed with the comment "Don't worry, this will be dealt with in future once we've decided what to do (no ETA)".
