Comment #16 on issue 5759 by dhhwai: Middlemouse+Drag Scrolling Behavior
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5759

@Itai:

Sorry to disagree but autoscroll must be sticky even if it cannot be turned  
off.  That's the
way sticky autoscroll works in IE and FF and Opera and users expect it to  
work consistently
the same as the other browsers.  Again, this is referring to just  
middle-CLICK, autoscroll
on, until next middle-CLICK turns off autoscroll (or what WebKit calls  
non-springloaded
autoscroll).

That's the same conclusion as reached in WebKit  
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24722
which is now marked as WontFix.

Rather, the work effort needs to be put into providing the option to have  
autoscroll sticky
or not (or I suppose turn off autoscroll completely).

Unless the "stickiness" of the autoscroll you are referring to is the  
middle-PRESS-AND-HOLD,
drag, release.  Again, in this case, autoscroll remains on until the end of  
the drag when the
middle mouse button is released (or what WebKit calls springloaded  
autoscroll).  This is the
feature that both IE and Firefox already currently have that WebKit needs  
to implement.  This
is tracked in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21794
