Description
BK Edit: the issue here is that the scroll bar appears just above the docked panel (any panel), so if you want to click on a part of the score directly above the panel, you may find yourself inadvertently clicking on the scroll bar, which causes the score to jump.
We may wish to entertain other solutions to this problem (beyond what has been suggested below).
Your idea
Move the navigator scroll bar away - e.g. below, like in MS3, or at least show its border to prevent unintentional jumps.
Problem to be solved
If I want to select something near the navigator, I'll actually hit its scroll bar and causing a jump:

In MS3 this was under the navigator, so incident above won't happen:
Another reason for me to keep using the old Timeline.
Prior art
MS3 ofc
