Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evince
Fullscreen toolbar buttons have a "one-pixel border" on their corners. This border goes against Fitts' law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts'_law), which, when applied to mouse- based user interfaces, states that buttons near the edges of the screen should be able to be activated on the edge itself, without requiring the user to move back one pixel. To sum up, this is one of the factors that make a difference between good interfaces (Mac menus, for instance) and "less-good" ones (Windows menus). For instance, both upper and lower panels in Gnome do not have such borders, making it much easier to hit targets in these bars (requiring less effort and speeding up interaction). Thus there is also an inconsistence in evince. These modifications should be easily done in many programs and constitute a significant effort/gain ratio in terms of usability.
