User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040917 Firefox/0.9.3

This page captures mouse clicks on the background. The active region extends to
the scrollbar. This means that clicking the crollbar starts the loading of a
new page. I can't see exactly how this happens, but I get the feeling that appart
from being annoying, it could be exployted to trick people into loading pages
they would not want.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the given URL
2. Click the scroolbar to drag the window.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get a blank page (black in my debian firefox, and white in the nightly build).
The browser icon indicates a page loading. I have not seen a complete page load.


Expected Results:  
Scrolled the contents of the current tab.
