That's one of the things (only one!) I can't stand about Gnome-3.x,
that behavior seems really stupid! given that behavior there's no way
to "page down" or "up" thru a file using the scrollbar. if it's a
loooong file, dragging the slider even a tiny bit moves you many
"miles".

I'm glad to know there is a way to "fix" it, even though I avoid
Gnome-3 whenever possible. Thanks!
