Er, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The test case mentioned to scroll
over the document view using a touch device, e.g. by circular scrolling, edge
scrolling, or two-finger scrolling.

On a default Ubuntu installation with overlay scrollbar installed, using the
touchpad scrolling on the scrollbar does not yield smooth scrolling. The overlay
scrollbar itself would have to be fixed for that to work. That said, if your
mouse is over the overlay scrollbar scrubber thing, you're probably clicking the
buttons or dragging it around, rather than using touch scrolling.
