Yes.

- Native *never* moves focus, even if the control is focusable (ex.
the wireless networks list in OS X Preferences.app)

- Trident, WebKit and Presto blur the activeElement when clicking a
scrollbar even if the element with the scrollbar is not focusable.
This results in the body being focused.

- Gecko *only* blurs the activeElement if the element with the
scrollbar is focusable (ex. overflow div + tabindex). That is, Gecko
will only blurs if the focus can be transfered to the scrollbar owner.

I agree. I'll update the patch to match Gecko's mostly native, but web
friendly behavior.
