The issue is a little more complicated than just "fully focusing". Gecko remembers the caret position so if you click in a middle of a textarea, unfocus it, then tab back into it or click the scrollbar your caret is still in the middle. WebKit doesn't store the caret position though, so we always put it back at the start when tabbing.

It would be really weird if clicking the scrollbar on an unfocused textarea put the caret at the start since it's quite possible you can't see the start of the textarea when scrolling.

The current behavior as described in this bug make sense in a world where we forget the caret position.
