I can verify this still happens on macOS using current master.

I think this has since been fixed.

Best regards,

X-detected-operating-system: by monty-python.gnu.org: Genre and OS details not recognized.

When scrolling up and down by using the keyboard, or dragging the scroll
bar thumb, the thumb will noticeably change size. This is ugly and very
distracting. Worse, trying to use the scroll wheel results in motion
which is jagged, unpredictable and ridiculously sensitive, and usually
overshoots so badly that it's completely useless.
