It's an overview for the complete file, this is why it does not move. 
There is a small gray area (a different gray then the rest) that shows 
your current scroll view.

To quote Martin's mail:

As said it presents a complete overview of the current file to you. You 
see where you changed something (yellow and green like on the left) and 
where you put breakpoints. In the future there might be icons to 
indicate compilation failures, warnings, hints, etc.
