Hi Ann....
I have some comments below, but I am also going to use your e-mail as
an excuse to comment on some feature requests I wanted to make.

I get the same behavior on Firefox 3.0.18 on CentOS 5 for both dmel
and hg demos -- no scroll bar for tracks themselves, but can scroll
with mouse wheel. Opera 10.10 on same machine puts the scroll bar for
track names in the wrong place -- all the way at the right, instead of
between track label panel and track panel.
The bigger issue that you are touching on is that there ideally should
be some way to control track heights so they don't blow up like this.
I opened a ticket (#58) on the Lighthouse request/bug tracker for
JBrowse:
http://jbrowse.lighthouseapp.com/
that is basically to cap the track height so they don't blow up like that.
A ticket related to this are #57, which is to give more control over
how tracks are displayed (like their height).

You can double-click on a space in the coordinates line and you will
get zoomed in on that specific location.
But ideally, it would be nice if you could drag and select a region to
zoom in on. The UCSC Genome Browser has that feature. You can click
and drag on the coordinates line, and a blue box appears that clearly
delineates the new view that you will zoom to. It is very, VERY
useful. So useful I opened a ticket requesting this on Lighthouse:
#59
