Bug Description

Hi,

I can't seem to use the particularly small white scrollbar (see attachment) on the right side of the dashboard in a consistent manner. When I try to click on it and move the mouse while keeping its button pressed, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not. I wasn't able to determine under which circumstances it doesn't, but it's really frustrating. The scrolling is ok when using the keyboard's up/down arrow keys and the mouse wheel. But the first problematic method I mentioned becomes more important in laptops with no mouse wheel or in case a user is not used in using gestures on their laptop's pad.

Thank you.
