Perhaps you're poorly served by your browser.  My laptop is native at
1400x1050, and I almost never get a scrollbar thumb too short for me to
grab reliably, but that's in Firefox, which probably purposefully
limits how short the thumb can be.

So, clearly, confusing Back-page-lists not withstanding, there's a call
for it.
