[Ohrrpgce] SVN: james/10355 Enable mouse right-drag scrolling on the browse screen

[Michael Kidder]

It always does feel weird to those of us that have primarily used desktops
for most of our computing lives, but there is a large amount of people that
compute entirely out of their phone now. I could also see it coming in
handy if you set up a tablet with a keyboard and mouse, or laptops with
touchscreens.
