Focus while clicking scrollbars

Issue Description: Typically, clicking on scroll bars doesn't cause the currently focused element to lose focus. However, when I click the scrollbar of an element with tabindex set to '-1', the focus is lost from the currently focused element. I'm unsure if this is the intended behavior or not, but it seems odd to me. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify whether this is a bug or intentional.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Focus on the input element. 2. Click on the scrollbar of the `ul` element.

You'll notice that the input element loses its focus. However, if you remove the `tabindex` attribute from the `ul` element and then click on the scrollbar, the input element retains its focus.

Sample code:

<input type='input'/>

Apologies, the sample code got displayed here—it's something like this: " < input type='input'/> < ul style='height: 200px; overflow: scroll; width: 200px' tabindex='-1'>

 < li >option< / li >
 < li >option< / li >
 < li >option< / li >
 ....

< / ul> "
