New issue 17248 by [email protected]: middle-click on scrollbar thumb should  
jump to new position
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17248

Chrome Version: 3.0.194.3-r20926
OS: Ubuntu Hardy Heron

In (at least some) GTK+ apps, middle-mouse-down on a scrollbar thumb makes
the thumb get centered under the pointer and dragging moves the thumb along
with the pointer.  The fix for issue 11976 makes the thumb's position get
updated correctly on middle-mouse-down on an empty part of the scrollbar,
but middle-clicking on the thumb itself is the same as left-clicking -- the
position gets updated as you drag, but nothing happens on mouse-down.

In Firefox 3.0.10, this works as described at the top of the previous
paragraph.  gedit 2.22.3 has behavior that seems unintuitive to me.  As
best as I can figure out, middle-mouse-down on the thumb makes the thumb
jump either up or down, depending on whether the mouse-down is above or
below the position of the previous mouse-down on the thumb.

I suggest that Firefox's behavior be implemented.
