Scrollbar keeps focus when it should not...

For ever so long now, Galeon has had a nagging problem with the Gecko scrollbars. The scrollbar keeps focus when, after grabbing the scrollbar (left-mouse-button on scrollbar, scroll up or down) the mouse button is released outside the Gecko-governed area of the browser window, but INSIDE the window over one of the toolbars (including the menu bar). When (after releasing the left-mouse-button inside the browser window, but outside the Gecko-governed area) the pointer is moved inside the Gecko-governed area, the window scrolls with the pointer. To stop this from happening, the user needs to click the left-mouse-button inside the Gecko-governed area once. The behaviour is present both for horizontal as well as vertical scrollbars. It does not matter where the toolbars are in the browser window (top, bottom, sides). The behaviour is also present for any scrollbars inside the document (eg. the scrollbar to the right of the <TEXTAREA> in which I'm composing this bug report). Reproduce: 1. open a document which is larger than the document window, so that a scrollbar appears. 2. grab the scrollbar (left-mouse-button down and hold) 3. move the pointer (while holding the left-mouse-button down) outside the Gecko-governed area, over one of the toolbars. 4. release the left-mouse-button over one of the toolbars. 5. move the pointer back inside the Gecko-governed area, and move it down/up. The document will scroll with the pointer. 6. to stop the document from 'following' the pointer, left-mouse-button click once inside the Gecko-governed area of the browser window (clicking inside a toolbar does NOT stop this from happening). Observed behaviour: the document 'follows' the pointer. Expected behaviour: the scrollbar should loose focus, even when the left-mouse-button is released outside the Gecko-governed area of the browser window
