Bug #581486 is not really a duplicate of this bug but fixing this one
would probably also fix the other one.

It's about two very annoying bugs in the Emacs version currently shipping with Lucid (23.1.1):
* Moving the scroll bar is marking text.
* When letting go of the scroll bar it often snaps back to its previous position (and with it the displayed section of the file) instead of staying where it is.

I gather that these problems stem from bugs in the interaction with GTK
and X. Apparently they have been fixed in later versions, including
Emacs 23.2.

As these are rather severe usability problems, is there any chance to
get Lucid upgraded to Emacs 23.2?
