I have been testing 12.04 with a touch screen kiosk display and I have
noticed that scroll bars in unity are extremely difficult to use as the
point that you need to grab is very small, and is fingers are not
particularly accurate.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

thanks
chris

Anyway - if Ubuntu want to take part in tablet-pad-phone --touch paneloriented devices - Unity must be suitable for fingertip area on 7 inchscreens.

It means that user must, at least, have possibility to determine size ofscrollbars, launcher and panel icons...
