You invent that in 2.9.x, or did you it manually? I find no
'toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance'
in SeaMonkey 2.9.1 or FireFox 12.

Perhaps it was/is in the version that you are reporting using?
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.20pre) Gecko/20110606 Lightning/1.0b2pre SeaMonkey/2.0.15pre

Not likely. But I did find it in 'FireFox 14.0a1 (2012-03-24)'. And
checking <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751476> I see:
"In Firefox 13+, if you set toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance to
1, the..."

If you are going to comment on an issue for "SeaMonkey version 2.9 or
2.9.1" as the OP is discussing, then it would be quite helpful if you
commented on the version discussed.

Perhaps these are related?

<The vertical scrollbar's buttons should respect
toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance>

But if we check back a little further (follow the other referenced bug
reports):

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635645>
[consider increasing the amount of scrolling performed by using the
arrow keys]
(Starting from comment 15 is interesting/telling...)

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725700>
[Keyboard arrow keys and scrollbar buttons should have consistent
scrolling distances]

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710373>
[Pressing the vertical slider down arrow with smooth scrolling should
move three lines instead of one]

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=scrollbar+buttons>

It would be interesting to do a relation tree to all of these... Mozilla
coordination efforts. And, no, I'm not wagging fingers at you and/or the
SeaMonkey Volunteers. I think you guys do a fantastic job & appreciate
the effort (especially every 6 weeks :-). However, I do often find it
fasinating tracking an issue from one reported, to the "duplicate of
this bug", to "Please take this to the support forum or newsgroup. This
is a verified fixed bug and commenting here unnecessarily spams a number
of people who could be getting actual work done." etc.
