   With the old Gtk scrollbar behavior, you can scroll end of buffer to

   I was suggesting to color this area.  It is clearly non-empty, as
   anyone can see by trying out the Gtk scrollbar.  (I changed back from
   Gtk to the native scrollbar some days ago, so if the Gtk scrollbar
   changed in the last 4 days, then disregard my ranting...)

If I understood the discussion on the subject correctly, Richard
decided to try to change that behavior to make the GTK scrollbar
behave more like the native one.  (Again, unless I misunderstood.)  As
I understood it, Jan is trying to implement Richard's proposal and
therefore, was trying to understand exactly how the native scrollbar
behaves.  If I understand correctly, the behavior has not changed over
the last few days, but it is likely to change in the future.

Of course some (Owen in particular) may prefer the old behavior.

Sincerely,

Luc.
