[Bug 884621] Re: Scrollbars for maximized windows do not obey Fitts law
So, is there any way to make scrollbars to consistently work with the right edge? Is there a theme change I can do? Or window manage tweak? Is there agreement that right-edge access to the maximized windows' scrollbars is best? Is there agreement that rounded ends to the scrollbar decorations is less of a priority than the Fitts rule adherence? (Personally, I believe the right-edge behavior more important than scrollbar themes/decorations.) Thanks! -- Note, on Xubuntu 11.10, using greybird theme and "Totem" style, I identified different levels of Fitts rule compliance for a few selected applications: Best: On right edge, scrollbar handle can be dragged with primary mouse button or middle button anywhere, arrow buttons clickable, zones above/below handle activate PageUp/PageDown. - Chromium browser 17.0.963.79 (note, probably uses non-standard scrollbars) Almost there: On right edge, PageUp and PageDown come from primary mouse button down, handle drag comes from middle button anywhere. - Gedit 3.2.3 - Xfce Terminal Emulator 0.4.8 - Gnumeric Spreadsheet 1.10.17 Not at all: - Leafpad 0.8.17 - Firefox 11.0 - abiword 2.8.6 - Thunar 1.2.3 - Evince Document Viewer 3.2.1 - LibreOffice Writer 3.4.4 OOO340m1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884621 Title: Scrollbars for maximized windows do not obey Fitts law To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-artwork/+bug/884621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a valid observation, yet a design-decision. I've tried implementing the scrollbars that way, but it was impossible to keep them round (limitation in the engine).
