Comment (by joebt): Another consideration: accidental resizing via window border grab bars. One suggestion is not to allow accidental window resizing at all, via dragging the window borders. Because it's very easy to accidentally move the borders, prevent the action - at least momentarily. Popup a warning - "Do you really want to resize TBB's window? This is not recommended!" Unless they don't know the implications of changing TBB's borders or have low anonymity requirements, probably few users intentionally drag TBB borders. At least in Linux - maybe more in some desktops, it's incredibly easy to move the window border when clicking the scrollbar thumb, if the cursor is slightly moving. No easy way to reset window to original spoofed size. In Linux - Cinnamon, you don't have to straddle the Fx border - just be near it when grabbing the scrollbar thumb. Most users don't completely stop the cursor before clicking the scrollbar. The new, narrower scrollbars make the problem worse. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16364#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
