Public bug reported:
In previous versions of Ubuntu I used to be able to jump to a specific
position in a document by just middle clicking anywhere on the
scrollbar. No dragging was needed. With the new scrollbar introduced in
Ubuntu 11.04 is not possible any longer.
I know that this might be considered an esoteric and hard to discover feature.
But I feel that dragging around the thumb for several seconds to find the
correct place in the document causes unnecessary muscle tensions leading to
pain when working for longer times. Also, when working with long documents, the
more comfortable scroll wheel is not fast enough to compete with the other ways
of scrolling.
