I'm seeing something similar with Evince rather than Firefox in
Debian testing.
The scrollbar has no arrows, just a rounded bar in it. Left mouse
button scrolls to current position. Right mouse button scrolls by 1
page though. Seems like some Gnome 3/GTK 3 thing that I don't want on
my XFCE desktop.
This anti-social app also causes my XFCE "tile left" and "tile right"
window manager key bindings to be ignored. They work for all other
windows.
I wonder if it is the same problem? ;-)
peace & happiness,
martin
