It seems that the latest change reverted the previous buggy behaviour to 
earlier buggy behaviour, where the scrollbar handle resizes as you scroll.

If this behaviour is generally preferred to the previous behaviour, then 
we should leave it like this until after the release. Experience has 
shown that it is going to take major changes in the way we perform our 
scroll-bar related calculations to make an improvement in this area 
without breaking it in some other way.
