I don't have a xubuntu 14.04 right now to reproduce. When I test this
on my 16.04 alpha system I see that clicking on the scrollbar moves
you to the point that was clicked to.

Is the scrollbar behavior in synaptic different than the behavior of
other gtk apps (like e.g. gedit if you open a huge text file)? I don't
think we do anything special with the scrollbars, i.e. we use what the
gtk toolkit provides us.
