After using the thumb to resize if then using the thumb directly to scroll the left click becomes 'attached' to the thumb

[Doug McMahon]

To See

Open nautilus in a window where scrolling is possible.
Use the thumb to resize horizontally
Then reacquire the thumb, hold left click and scroll up & down a bit
Now release the left click, cursor remains in control of the thumb & can continue to scroll up or down even when moving quite far away from the thumb

In nautilus one can move the thumb both in or outside of the window, in other app windows like gedit or terminal this only continues when inside the window, in all cases you need to stay within the vertical limits of the window

Just to note - I'm doing this on a laptop with a synaptics touchpad

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This affects me too, also on a laptop with synaptics touchpad.
