Except we don't use autorepeat buttons in the clicktoscroll binding. We can do something very similar in the tabbrowser dragover listener though.

I'm sure I've noticed similar behaviour in other Windows programs, and I've come to consider this as a feature where if it's not scrolling fast enough, you can wiggle the mouse to speed it up. At any rate I can't see how it does any harm...
sorry for the bug spam, re-assigning bugs back to default owner if I'm not working actively on them.

Yeah the new tab drag-and-drop has better visual feedback making the behavior easier to understand
