It could also be argued that clicking to the left of a system is unintuitive,
you are not actually clicking on what you want resize. By clicking in between

clicking on just the page.
Is that a better line?

Good luck on using that line. Let's see how bright the phone lines
light up on this issue alone. Not that it is a terribly big deal, but
the multi-page editing improvements provide no excuse. (You know which
page the mouse is on, so why is the old behavior precluded?)

I get to reverse my stance ;-). Unfortunately the manual is the culprit. This
was fallout from the multi-page editing improvements. I'll make sure that the
