Public bug reported:

Alt+Click on the big handlebar of overlay scrollbar.

Expected result:  Nothing should happen, apart from bringing the window
to the foreground and preferably even grabbing it for move.  The
contents inside the window should be left intact.

Actual result:  It scrolls the content, just as if I clicked on the
scrollbar without Alt.

Rationale:

Alt+Click is commonly bound on all kinds of Linux desktops/WMs to raise
and move the given window.

If it has any side effect, e.g. mangles the content (even if it just
scrolls away from the desired location), I can no longer safely use this
shortcut quickly and efficiently.

It should not have any other side effect, e.g. Alt+Click on an X button
(either the WM decoration's close button, or a close button on a Gtk+
tab) or any other UI element doesn't perform that element's action
either.  This behavior has been the standard on pretty much every
desktop environment I've seen under Linux for the last almost 20 years
since I've using it (beginning with fvwm, but as far as I recall, even
twm behaves this way).

The correct behavior of Alt+Click would be to bring the window to the
foreground in the exact same state it was when it was lowered or covered
by another window, and not to alter the application's state in any way,
not even when I happen to Alt+Click over the overlay scrollbar.

Title:
  Should not scroll on Alt+Click

Bug description:
