On a page with a fixed CSS header, the scrollbar scrolls too far. It is not taking into account the height of the fixed elements and information is therefore getting hidden behind it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://duckduckgo.com/?q=mozilla+firefox
2. Note the last piece of text on the page.
3. Click the gutter in the scrollbar.

Actual Results:  
The text that was at the bottom of the page is now nowhere to be found. It is actually behind the fixed CSS element.

Expected Results:  
The scroll functionality should take into account fixed CSS elements and not scroll that far such that the text that was at the bottom of the page is now visible on the top. This is how it works in Chrome, and what the user expects.
This is a known issue. However it is quite tricky to fix.
