bug#6492: 24.0.50; Scroll bar in minibuffer window doesn't scroll.

[Jan Djärv]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

./emacs -Q
C-x C-f C-q C-j 1 C-q C-j 2 (...and so on...) C-q C-j 14

Scroll bar now shows that it can be dragged.  But dragging on it has
no effect:
Native scroll bar:  Totally ignores mouse clicks and drags
Toolkit scroll bar (Gtk+, Xaw3d): Slider can be dragged but window
  does not scroll.  Steppers can be clicked, but window does not scroll.

Emacs 22, 23.1 and 23.2 also doesn't scroll.  I don't have any older version.
Maybe it is time to remove scroll bars from the minibuffer window?

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
