I'm not convinced that this would cause serious confusion, after all scrollbars and sliders look very different, although they have similar functionality. If it were made clear through the design that the slider relates to only a part of the UI then I don't see a major problem in principle.
I haven't found any other examples of this in some brief web searching, it would be interesting to see if anyone else has done it. 2009/5/14 Ivan Burmistrov <[email protected]>: > Vertical slider will interfere with browser%u2019s vertical scrollbar > producing a serious confusion.
