Referring to the scrollbars to the right/bottom of a web page. I have noticed that when switching between tabs, sometimes the scrollbars get stuck and cant be moved if i click->hold down mouse 1->drag them. I can still click on an empty spot in the scroll bar to move the scroll bar, but i cannot drag the scrollbar. The scrollbar becomes undrageable.

It seems to be fixed most of the time if i refresh the page, but it occurs frequently for me when i switch between tabs.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Switch between tabs
2.???
3.PROFIT!
Actual Results:  
Most of the time if i switch between tabs often enough, the scrollbar of some of the tabs will get stuck and become undrageable.


It should have allowed me to drag the scrollbars.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
