If you click outside the slider, the window scrolls to bring the slider there." By something like: "Scroll the window to bring the slider to where you click. You can then subsequently scroll the window by dragging the slider." Or maybe: "Scroll the window by dragging the scroll bar slider. Initially, the window scrolls to bring the slider to where you click." That way the main purpose still appears in the first line and the second line makes clear that some initial scrolling is to be expected. Sincerely, Luc.
