Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.28.1~git20100129-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
since gnome shell now has the "notification area" at the bottom of the
screen scrolling horizontally in applications became very hard since you
can't just move the mouse to the bottom of the screen and hit the
scrollbar automatically (Fitt's Law) since this will move in
gnome-shells "notification area". This looks like a suboptimal UI
decision. Only using a hotspot (like the lower left or lower right
corner) might make more sense.
Cheers,
-- Guido
