Added an arrow, but probably it's too small to be helpful...

Well - before they can scroll up, they did scroll down, thus the
cursor is at the bottom area (when using the scrollbar in ther first
place).
So I don't really think you can apply Fitt's law in either case.

You did scroll down, want go up, cursor is already at the lower end of
the scrollbar → bottom-right position would be OK.

You and Christoph follow the other approach "the user wants to scroll
up, thus he points to the upper-area of the scollbar because they're
used to it", in this case the upper area would be better.

I now changed it to be at top-right instead of bottom-right, so you
get a feeling for it.

ciao
Christian
