Hi, I tried to reproduce this and couldn't, for the moment.

After a while, I got what looks like a different crash, not on scrolling, and filed it as bug 1042092.

Sorry I couldn't help more. :)

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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug hasn't seen any activity in years and there has been no recent similar reports, the code also changed quite a lot since and it's likely the issue doesn't exist anymore. Closing, feel free to open a new report if you still get problems in recent Ubuntu versions
