It's

	 ((eq part 'handle)
	  (scroll-bar-drag-1 event))))

What I see is that in scroll-bar-drag-1, portion-whole is (1 . 1), both
when I drag the mouse down and when I drag it up.  So scroll-bar-drag-1
always does (goto-char (point-max)).

Should scroll-bar-drag-1 be doing the correction to account for
scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion, or should that be done higher up the
stack?  (If scroll-bar-drag-1 needs to apply a correction, then I
suspect there are other functions that also need to apply a correction.
Perhaps it would be cleaner to make the correction early on, so that it
only needs to be done once.  But I'm not familiar with the code, so
there may well be aspects to this that I'm missing.)
