To reproduce this bug I think that your setup must look _exactly_ like mine,
because otherwise it won't work. (screenshot attached with my layout).

1. Your resulotion must be 1280x1024.
2. Open the specified URL (yes it's a bugzilla page, and no it's not related)
3. Start your selection at the top-left (where it says "Bugzilla Bug 290374")
4. Drag your mouse (while keeping the selection active) downwards so the mouse
is over the "Additional Comments:" textarea 
5. Keep dragging until you reach the bottom of your desktop.

You will notice that the page does not scroll together with the selection/mouse
as it should because of the position of that textarea.

It will scroll if there are objects/text after the textarea and if you move your
mouse to the right of the textarea (around it) when pulling it down.


Reproducible: Always
Marking it as dupe because it was accidently posted 3 times.
