Hi!
When I’m working in a window of File Explorer or a random application and I want to scroll up/down or left/right in this window with the mouse, the scroll slider snaps back to the starting position when I move the mouse pointer beyond a certain distance of the slider.
See this example.
Why is that? It’s quite annoying.
In macOS I can move the mouse pointer wherever I want on the screen without this snapping of the scroll slider.
I'm not the only one with this annoyance.

These examples show that this issue is quite old.
You see in the 5th example that Windows draws an invisible square around the scroll bar area. This area contains a fixed amount of pixels. When the mouse pointer leaves this area while dragging the scroll slider the back snapping occurs.
I've worked many years on a 22" screen with 1680 x 1050 pixels. Now I use a 27" QHD monitor containing 2560 x 1440 pixels. Since the pixels on the new monitor are smaller, the 'safe area' around the scroll bar is also smaller. I noticed that the back snapping occurs far more often than on the 22" screen.
I know it is possible in Windows 10 to drag the scroll slider without this back snapping, because the scroll slider of a random Windows Settings window proves this. For example: Press Win + I and choose Apps. No problem here.
I cannot find in Windows Settings an option to 'unsnap' the scroll slider. (Maybe my request must be altered in the Registry.)
Can someone help me to solve this issue?
