I see this (on master built with GTK+ Version 3.22.28) when I position
the mouse pointer over the scroll bar and rotate the mouse wheel
(without clicking a mouse button): the scroll bar moves but the text
does not scroll, and view-lossage shows no scroll event.  In contrast,
when I position the mouse pointer over the text area and rotate the
mouse wheel, the text does scroll and view-lossage shows this:
 <down-mouse-5> <mouse-5> ;; mwheel-scroll
 <down-mouse-4> <mouse-4> ;; mwheel-scroll
(FWIW, with Firefox using the same GTK+ and theme, rotating the mouse
wheel over the scroll bar also scrolls the text.)

Also in contrast, when I click and hold down mouse-1 on the scroll bar
and drag it, the scroll bar moves and the text scrolls, and view-lossage
shows this:
 <mouse-1>		  ;; scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll
