Last year, I opened a bug about how Emacs suddenly quit obeying the
well-established scrollbar behavior of:

Click left to bring "this" line to the top,
Clich right to bring the top line to "here",
where "here" and "this" is a position along the window corresponding to
where the mouse is in the scrollbar.

This is an obscure compile-time option in Emacs having to do with which
widget set is used or something.

Halfway through last year, it went back to the "good behavior".
Alas, it's messed up again now, just as I'd fully settled back into
expecting to have it. 

SIGH!
