You'll get a little pop-up window saying something about mortgage rates. click
in the area below vertical scrollbar (to the right of the horiz scrollbar) (the
area where the grow-box usually goes) and the page will scroll down as if you
clicked in the vertical scrollbar.

Don't get the popup, but there is a blank area adjacent to the scrollbars in the
lower right corner of the page that behaves as you describe.  Assigning to
evaugahn as p4 for m16

This does not seem to happen in the current build. I even tried the duplicate
bug attached to this and that didn't happend either. I believe this is fixed.

you don't need the the popup, or that page. Just have the window smaller than the content such that you have dual scrollbars.

The key is to click_and_hold in that little grey area. For some reason it works better if you click in the upper-left quadrant of that 
little grey box.
When you do so, the view scrolls along both axes and performs a drag select!?!

Can't be completely sure, but it seems that a click-and-hold with no movement
of the cursor during the hold does not trigger this, but if the cursor is moved
at any point during the hold -- even to the left or upwards -- the weird 
bidirectional scrolling starts. At least, if I try to not move the cursor,
I can't always reproduce this, but if I make sure it does move, this is 100%
reproducible.

As far as I can tell, the scrolling happens in both directions at roughly the 
same speed, although depending on the dimensions of the page one scrollbar
usually moves all the way well before the other.

Mass-moving all M16 non-feature bugs to M17, which we still consider to be 
part of beta2
