According to the xterm man page:

	Clicking  button one with the pointer in the scroll region
	moves the adjacent line to the top of the display  window.

	Clicking  button  three  moves the top line of the display
	window down to the pointer position.

	Clicking button two moves the display to a position in the
	saved  text  that corresponds to the pointer's position in
	the scrollbar.

You probably want to use the middle mouse button to get the results you
desire.  Why is it middle mouse button?  Because it's been middle mouse
button for what, 20 years?
