I have an application with the same problem. I thought that it must be
because I DIDN'T have any tab groups set up. (That I know of - it is a
huge application that I inherited 6 months ago)

Now I am really interested in why this happens. Also, It does not just
happen on scrollbars. Clicking in several different places in any
window with multiple focus-able widgets produces this bizarre effect.

Help is appreciated in advance.
