I was working on a bug [1][2] recently where authors had complained about WebKit's behavior where clicking a scrollbar unfocuses the activeElement. What's particularly quirky is that the window scrollbar never moves focus in any browser I tried, but overflow scrollbars inside the page *do* move focus in WebKit, IE and Opera but not in Gecko. This behavior seems unfortunate because it means scrolling a form inside an overflow div moves focus from where you were typing and it's also really weird that window scrollbars are special. What's the correct behavior here? It would be best if all the browsers could be consistent, but I'm not sure the existing common behavior is best. :) [1] https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96335 [2] http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=51469 - Elliott
