[Bug 1087999] [NEW] UI event focus stuck in some pane, impossible to reach the rest of the UI

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

 * Overlay scrollbars are broken, and focus gets stuck in one of the
panes

 * The fix needs to be backported because in the current state, transgui
is unusable.

 * The fix includes an upstream vcs commit which adds some checks that
effectively disables overlay scrollbars

[Test Case]

 * Install transgui and try to use it, see that the scrollbars won't
work, and that focus will get stuck


[Regression Potential] 

 * Regressions are unlikely as all this does is disable the overlay
scrollbars. It's unlikely to affect other packages as transgui is a
frontend, and it has no revdeps.

 * The newer upstream release has been tested by me since release, and
the patched version seems to work fine on my computer.

[Original description]

It seems that the problem reported as Bug #865410 reappeared in quantal.
Right after start of the app, the UI works as it should, but after a few
clicks, wherever in the window I click a mouse button, or regardless of
how many times I hit the TAB key, the clicks and keypresses end up in
just one pane of the window (usually "torrent details" pane) and no
operation that needs a click in another pane, including menu, can be
performed.

Note that the package uses overlay scrollbars now; last time disabling
the overlay scrollbars alleviated the problem.

Happens under Unity and Cinnamon.
