FWIW I had the same reactions as Stuart. It felt like the top of my static webpage was floating away from my (virtual) fingertips. I tried to like it but the floatiness didn’t feel like it gave any advantage. Also the thing Stuart describe about the top-left mouse control “clicking itself” happened to me a couple of times. My interactions with that self-clicking thingy were almost always non-decisive. Again, control was floating away…
