Something has happened to the ability to scroll smoothly in
Thunderbird since upgrading two computers to F-18/64/XFCE. In the
past there has been a spot at the top and bottom of the scroll bar
where you could increment the scroll gradually. That is no longer
there in Thunderbird or Firefox. In the case of one directory in
Thunderbird where I have 6400 e-mail messages I can scroll using the
button but moving it about 5cm on the screen goes through all 6400
messages in the list, hardly fine grained!
This computer was upgraded from F-17 via "fedup' while the other one
was simply yum updated from F-18 beta. Both have the same scrolling
affliction.
Have I done something wrong?
I have gone through the same issue on a mouse-less, old synaptics
touchpad-only system (no gestures, no multi-tap).
In my case, something during the upgrade to f17 has changed xfce's
"Appearance/Style" to using "Adwaita"-style. This style lacks "arrows"
on scrollbars and therefore hardly usable in scenarios like yours or mine.
Changing "Appearance/Style" to a different "style" through
"Application Menu"->"Settings"->"Appearance"->"Style"
brought back the "arrows".

P.S.: I am facing other issues with Gtk/Gnome based packages under xfwm,
esp. gnome-terminal, e.g.
- gnome-terminal seems to use black letters on black background by default.
- changing the "style" as described above lets open gnome-terminals
shrink and sometimes hang.
