Can't drag scroll bars anymore

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.56.2
  • OS Version: Debian 10

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open any file longer than the display height
  2. Try to drag the scrollbar or left-click in a empty scrollbar section.
  • Expected: drag-to-scroll, or scroll immediately to the clicked position.
  • Actual: no scroll.

Apparently the scrollbar is “missing” the click event. Clicking on the scrollbar is actually sending the click in the current editor itself. I can see the change in the opacity of the scroll indicator, however on click-and-drag VSCode is selecting text from the editor pane instead of scrolling.

Also, left-clicking everywhere over the scrollbar is not scrolling (the correct behavior is to scroll up to the click position immediately). The only way to scroll immediately on click is to use the right click.

No problem scrolling using mouse scroll wheel, or clicking over the minimap.

Currently I went back to 1.55.2 and the issue is not yet there. I also tried in 1.56.0 and the issue is present, so the bug was introduced somewhere between these two versions.

My current desktop environment is Debian 10 with Fluxbox. I tested with a clean install (I removed .vscode and .config/VSCode dirs). I also tried hiding the minimap. No effects, the issue is still there.
