Details

We hit an orange in bug 989469 after changing some theme stuff because one of our tests synthesizes events at the center of a button, and after the theme change, the bottom center was scrolled off the screen.

I think EventUtils should warn or throw when we attempt to click, touch, or otherwise dispatch events at coordinates based on things that are scrolled out of view, because that's likely not what the test-writer wants.
