IE scrolls too far on mouse clicks after security update!

I know this is gonna sound weird but...

After applying the latest IE security pack on my Win 2000
Pro system
that Windows Update notified me about this morning, I
notice now that if
I click in the right-hand scrollbar area, it scrolls the
IE screen down
much farther than it used to. I'm talking about click in
the scrollbar
either above or below the little "slider" that you can
drag to manually
scroll.

I swear clicking here used to cause it to scroll down or
up just
slightly less than a fullscreen length. That way, if I
read everything
on the screen, and clicked once in the scrollbar to scroll
down, I was
then looking at exactly what followed the info I had
already read...it
was literally the next "screen's worth" of information.

Now when I click there, it scrolls down (or up) WAY more
than a screen's
worth, so I then have to manually drag the slider up or
down to see the
material that I've scrolled past.

Am I imagining this sudden change, or did something really
get whacked?
And how might I change the distance that get's scrolled
with one of
these clicks? I can't find any relevant settings either
in IE or in the
Mouse setup in Control Panel.

I'm seeing this too, in WinXP Pro, also after applying
this latest security pack. As near as I can tell, the
distance scrolled in response to one click is
approximately two screens-worth of data, unless I
position the mouse within one slider's length of the
slider. Then, it works correctly. However, the PgUp and
PgDn keys still work as before.

I seem to remember encountering this error once before, a
long time ago, using an earlier version of IE under WinNT
4, but I forget what fixed it. It may even be that I
simply backed out the latest fix on that occasion, and
waited for the next upgrade to IE.

Can you provide a subject line? I haven't found a solution and this is
happening to me as well.

Thank you.
