Well, it's a 16" screen, with a 2560x1600 resolution. 96dpi. I'm not sure  
what counts as "fine resolution" these days. I see everyone plugging in  
huge, eye-wrapping monitors into their laptops, and this display is nowhere  
near that(1).

I'm easily annoyed, and I'm going to turn this around and categorize your  
results as a 20% failure rate. Especially if the column got shrunk by  
accident, like what happened to me, and I wouldn't blame anyone for ending  
up in the same boat as me, and not being able to figure out how to get out  
of it. Not everyone's comfortable with reverse-engineering unknown config  
settings, or even knowing when to find them.

What I don't follow is the reason for logically grabbing not one, but both  
handlebars with a single pointer click. If the pointer is within the  
blasting zone of two handlebars, why not grab just the one that's closest to  
the pointer, instead of both of them? I guess that just makes two^H^Hoo much  
sense…

(1) Resolution dependencies are so-last century. X tells me the display size  
in both pixels and millimeters(2), making it possible to implement  
resolution-independent GUIs(3).

(2) No idea what's the story with Wayland.

(3) I know for a fact that's possible. Think SVG – namely what the acronym  
stands for – as applied to widgets.
