Title: MS "jumping scrollbars" on Aqua violates platform UI
Type: Bug Version: None

Description:
If you start dragging a vertical scrollbar in a Tk Aqua application, then ÂȘaccidentally) move the mouse away to the left or right, scrollbar will "jump" back to the undragged position.  This is UI compliant on Windows (for better or worse) but not on OS X, where the scrollbar in other apps stays dragged unless you let go the mouse button.

This problem was addressed in commit e972802e92. So, I am closing the ticket.

Does this behavior still exist? I can't reproduce this on macOS 10.14 with Tk 8.5.9 or Tk 8.6.9.

Jumping scrollbars still exist on Vista.

Please note that Windows itself has moved away from the jumping scrollbars, as of Windows 7 (or maybe Windows Vista).

Hi, this patch still applies against 8.6a1.  If there's something unacceptable about it I can work on it?  Also, shouldn't this bug be assigned to das, not hobbs, as Mac maintainer?  (Trying to change it..)
