The default value of slider.snapMultiplier on Linux has changed from 0 to 6 recently. This causes the scrollbar position to reset when dragged too far away which is not standard behavior for GTK applications.

Regressed by Bug 1558358.

This pref was a mess before bug 1558358. It appeared in StaticPrefList.h and then appeared twice in all.js (which overrides the one in StaticPrefList.h). jya and I discussed this in the bug. What we missed is that the second appearance in all.js is within a #ifdef XP_WIN block that spans several hundred lines, and is thus easy to overlook.

The fix for this should occur in StaticPrefList.h; a #ifdef XP_WIN can be applied to the slider.snapMultiplier entry in there. There is no need for an entry in all.js.

But thank you for the report :)
