I have the same issue on Windows. Not sure if it works on Linux and MacOS

No, it doesn't; this is simply not a feature. It is probably possible to implement this, but I wonder: do you guys use a mouse without a wheel? Scrolling the view with the mouse wheel (or with two fingers on a track pad) is so much easier than trying to hit this tiny scroll bar thumb with the mouse pointer.

For me dragging with the mouse is faster

i use a scroll wheel but often i'd like to go to the top, bottom or 1/4 or 3/4 of the scrollable area, and the most intuitive way to do this across alsmost any app is to grab the scrollbar and yank it to where i want it to be.

I very much need this feature, I can submit a PR if you are not opposed to it?

I am, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

All good, I'll maintain a local patch then
