Sorry, I meant scroll by dragging (downward) the scroll-bar handle with the
mouse (e.g. mouse-1).

But I see now that scrolling does *not* continue forever. It does continue past
eob, sometimes as much as a whole blank screen, but it stops at some point.

Point does not move past eob, of course; it is just the window that scrolls.

emacs -Q
grab vertical scroll bar with mouse-1 and drag down

Buffers with different contents have different amounts of blank overshoot scroll
(i.e. past eob). It seems that the max overshoot is a full blank screen. It also
seems that larger buffers have more overshoot. So to see this with a full blank
window of overshoot, try scrolling a large buffer.
