I just tried the APZ autoscroll on my Surface tablet, and it looks like the mouse position is not being interpeted properly. The device has a window.devicePixelRatio of 1.5 which I suspect is not handled correctly.

If I middle-click to start autoscroll near the bottom of the window, the content immediately autoscrolls super-fast to the bottom of the page. If I middle-click near the top of the content area, it still autoscrolls down to the bottom, but less fast. In all cases I have to my mouse cursor sigificantly farther up than the indicator in order to get it scroll upwards, and if I keep the mouse near the indicator or even just above it, it scrolls downwards. ("Above" and "below" here refer to y-axis).

That matches the symptoms I saw with full zoom > 100% before I fixed the patch to handle full zoom correctly. I guess that fix did not correctly handle other sources of a device pixel ratio.
I can reproduce this on a regular desktop machine by setting the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.5. Will investigate.

This patch fixes the issue for me when layout.css.devPixelPerPx is modified.

Kats, when a get you chance, could you try the patch on your tablet as well?

Another tweak useful for APZ testing in beta 56. This should land in beta 2.
