Title:
  Scrollbars - difficult to resize panels with overlay scrollbar

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Overlay Scrollbar:
  In Progress
Status in “overlay-scrollbar” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  With the new overlay scrollbar in 12.04 the handle appears anywhere on
  the scrollbar you move the mouse to, but this makes it very difficult
  to resize the window on the right side. It is especially difficult on
  a laptop. The only way I have figured it can be done is to leave the
  mouse on the edge until the handle disappears but this is not very
  convenient. I think the usability of the new scrollbars needs
  improvement

  Note: A good application to use when reproducing this behaviour is
  Evolution calendar.

  -----------------------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Clicking and dragging the overlay scrollbar at right angles to the
  scroll direction should resize subpanels (in exactly the same way as
  this currently works with whole windows)

  - When the pointer is positioned over either of the long sides (left
  or right sides for a vertical scrollbar) of the thumb, the pointer
  icon should change from the normal single arrow to a 'two way resizing
  arrow' to signal to the user that they can resize by dragging.  This
  'two way resizing arrow' should also appear when the pointer 2px away
  from the thumb on either side so there is in total a 3px draggable
  area (similar to the invisible dragable border around windows).
