Well, not exactly I'm afraid. Since 1. this folder-selection-dialog comes as a pop-up and therefore has to be closed first before one can again navigate through the Listbox-view and 2., even more fundamental, in the main Listbox-view the user is bound to that file-by-file-representation - very useful in some situations but not so much in others. In this particular case of thousands of files to consolidate the Listbox-view will only show a tiny fraction of duplicate files at a time, mandatorily grouped one by one, while at the same time completely lacking the folder-wise-overview the SyncDirs dialog would have to offer.

I just checked - and that dialog is really blocking for srolling. Usually I can scroll windows that are not in the front by either the help of the KatMouse tool in Windows 7, or in Windows 10 by enabling "Settings" -> "Devices" -> "Mouse" -> "Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them", but not when TC has a dialog open.
