It isn't a question of scrollbar resolution. It's a question of the
size of the scrolled region.

The various keyboard keys such as page up and page down still worked,
independent of the mouse and the scroll bars.

But I had a large scrolled region. When the pixel counter for the
scrolled region overflowed, GTK started drawing over previous
information at the top of the scrolled window again. Messy.
