I really like the look of the new scrollbar - but I am having several issues using it - most importantly I can not figure out how to move down/up a single line anymore,
I would have thought the arrows at the edges of the new scrollbar move up/down by line and the grey pads of space between the separator would move by pg/up or down. All seems correct with the exception of the arrows to move up/down.
I look around through code, manuals and pdfs and such often and used to the use arrow pointers at the top and bottom of the old scrollbar style to move down or up by line all with the mouse....now with the new scroll bar I find myself struggling all the time for this type of simple operation as it seems the arrows in the overlay scrollbar perform a pgDown/pgUp operation not a move down/up line....anyone know how?
PS - If anyone is curious on how to best to test this on your own, a simple test I did was to create a text file of line numbers with the following command:
seq 1 200 > numbers.txt
open the file up in gedit, mousepad or any other program and you will see what I am talking about I hope.
If not, Im curious to hear....
