Clicking a link in a div with scrollbars does not work when the link is partially hidden by scrollbars (IE9/10)

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7820

Reproduce the error (Use the attached sample page)
- Find the element '#click1'
- Execute element.click()
nothing happens.

Expected behaviour:
- when clicking an element in a div with overflow:auto selenium should scroll to the
element (which works, if the element is completely invisible)

Tested with:
Windows 7
IE 9/IE 10
Selenium Server Standalone 2.42.2

Reproduced. Firefox is subject to this issue too.
