I have two-finger scrolling on the wifi KB I use for media which is much better, but don't have it on my laptop. I almost never use the little arrows, I used to click on the gutter to advance page by page - thank God Firefox still has the gutter! Also agree, people use these things in different ways and I can see you'd like it if you mainly use the arrows - although I find the arrows are less accurate than before. Choice is a wonderful thing but I don't see any way of exercising it re. the vertical scrollbar in 11.04. I've ditched Unity interface, can't cope with it - for something that's supposed to be easy to use, I actually found I reverted almost entirely to keyboard shortcuts as the Unity GUI is hopeless for navigating a desktop with multiple windows. Also had to switch off the infuriating habit of full-screening windows if you drag them to the side. If I drag a window to the side, it's cos I want to see what's underneath! Paula
