Description
I have a little idea that can make working in micro even more convenient:
The ability to hold down the scrollbar with the mouse (right mouse button, or left, maybe need another config), and drag it up and down, thereby scrolling the text.
I think this is not a difficult task, but it will make the micro even more convenient for users with mouse.

Research direction
Start by locating micro's terminal mouse-event handling and scrollbar implementation; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Determine how dragging the scrollbar should interact with left or right mouse buttons and configuration, then verify that dragging scrolls the text reliably in the GNU/Linux terminal environment described.
