This bug is about Emacs getting "stuck" while scrolling, or scrolling
erratically, not about miscalculation of the thumb size, right?

I may be misremembering, but AFAIR that variable was introduced
because some people actually _like_ the current default behavior wrt
calculating the size of the scroll-bar thumb.

Emacs should not get stuck scrolling, of course, but I cannot
reproduce that on my system, so someone will have to investigate and
tell why scrolling gets stuck or scrolls erratically in some
situations when scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion is non-nil.  Or maybe
I misunderstand what erratic scrolling is being alluded to here.
