What could probably be a solution is adding pointer friction to the top edge of the menubar , so that it is less easy to over-shoot the menubar and could probably prevent accidentally hitting the window controls. Something similar was discussed for gnome-shell but for scrollbars, to prevent user from overshooting the scrollbar and to make it easier to grabbing the scrollbar. Not sure if they have made any progress regarding that though. -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
