On Windows (tested on 7 using the Resource Monitor and Command Prompt properties windows), interacting with scrollbars will focus the window, but not the scrollable item itself (i.e. preserving the focus within the window).

However, Internet Explorer (9, on Windows 7), will move the focus to the scrollable element (for all types in Robert's test page).
