Ah, that. The scrollbar belongs to the GtkScrolledWindow widget which is what
implements the whole smooth scrolling bits. The problem is that the document
view which resides inside the GtkScrolledWindow isn't accepting (and forwarding)
the smooth scrolling events required for smooth scrolling to work.
