Probably; I don't remember for sure.  After reading your comment, I
reran the test twice, once with the clock positioned before the 'C-x 5
l' and once after.  The results are essentially the same, at least with
i3.

Mostly, yes, down/right, even with the child having a toolbar.  (The
parent still does not have a toolbar.)

The first time I tried 'C-x 5 b C-x 5 i' with i3, the child moved
up/right.  But with subsequent trials I got down/right.

BTW, I noticed from your screenshots that you're using the "3D"
scrollbar, whereas I'm using the ancient flat Athena scrollbar.  I don't
know if that makes any difference in the results we're seeing.
