Attached you will find a patch against
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/overlay-scrollbar/precise/
It changes two things:

1. I if you leave the thumb in moving direction there is a zone of 16 Pixel where the thump is not moved before redraw. This allows to use normal resizing in conditions where the thump resizing from Precise does not work.

2. The thumb does not follow the mouse when mouse is in proximity area. This allows to move the mouse direct to the page-up/down buttons without detours.

I hope this patch solves most of the resize issues and not at least improves the convenience of the overlay scrollbar.
I have also considered to move the thumb to the right, but I think it brakes the design intention of this scrollbar.

I had trouble to test the trunk version on my system (12.4) , but if you also think this is candidate for merge, I can provide a patch against trunk.
