The new scrollbar does not allow absolute jumping using middle button

[Jens Askengren]

In previous versions of Ubuntu I used to be able to jump to a specific position in a document by just middle clicking anywhere on the scrollbar. No dragging was needed. With the new scrollbar introduced in Ubuntu 11.04 is not possible any longer.

I know that this might be considered an esoteric and hard to discover feature.
But I feel that dragging around the thumb for several seconds to find the correct place in the document causes unnecessary muscle tensions leading to pain when working for longer times. Also, when working with long documents, the more comfortable scroll wheel is not fast enough to compete with the other ways of scrolling.
