As far as I know, yes. :-(

Perhaps it's not related, but something that's been bugging me is with my window that contains an NSTextView in an NSScrollView as its bottommost element. It's set to show the scroll bar only when needed.

When the (vertical) scroll bar is showing, moving the pointer from the text area to the resize box causes it to change from the I-beam to the arrow. But when the scroll bar is not showing, the pointer doesn't change when it gets to the resize box.

It seems that I unconsciously rely on that change to know when to click in the resize box, and if it doesn't change until it's completely outside the window, I often end up clicking on whatever is in the background, instead of in the resize box.

It would be a small annoyance if it didn't happen so often. Is it worth filing a bug about this simple case? Or, is there an easy fix for it?

Obviously, I could change my scroll view to always display the scroll bar, but four years on, I'd rather not change the behavior of the app for something this minor--and it may be that none of my customers are bothered by it at all.
