Selection is activated when you move desktop scrollbars

When the number of items placed on desktop becomes bigger its maximum grid capacity then a horizontal (or a vertical) scrollbar appears, but when you grab the scrollbar handle and move it, the desktop selection is automatically activated. See attached video for more info.
