** Description changed:
With the new overlay scrollbar in 12.04 the handle appears anywhere on
the scrollbar you move the mouse to, but this makes it very difficult to
resize the window on the right side. It is especially difficult on a
laptop. The only way I have figured it can be done is to leave the mouse
on the edge until the handle disappears but this is not very convenient.
I think the usability of the new scrollbars needs improvement
+
+ Note: A good application to use when reproducing this behaviour is
+ Evolution calendar.
+
+
+ -----------------------------------------
+ Desired resolution:
+
+ - Clicking and dragging the overlay scrollbar at right angles to the
+ scroll direction should resize subpanels (in exactly the same way as
+ this currently works with whole windows)
+
+ - When the pointer is positioned over either of the long sides (left or
+ right sides for a vertical scrollbar) of the thumb, the pointer icon
+ should change from the normal single arrow to a 'two way resizing arrow'
+ to signal to the user that they can resize by dragging. This 'two way
+ resizing arrow' should also appear when the pointer 2px away from the
+ thumb on either side.
