Description theosib 2004-09-28 05:59:15 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
OS:                Linux

Dear respected KDE developers,

Basic user interface design specifies that the larger a target is, the easier it is to hit.  If a target is at the edge of the screen, then that makes it effectively infinite in width, which is something one should definately take advantage of.

Unfortunately, Konqueror (or some aspect of Qt) doesn't take advantage of this.

Recently, I discovered the new option to disallow moving or resizing of maximized windows, which has the effect of removing 3 out of 4 of the window borders (and still has some minor glitches to work out).

But I was disappointed to find that the scrollbar on the right of a Konqueror window has a good 5 pixels of wasted space between the scrollbar and the edge of the screen.  This minor waste of space causes a sad waste of human effort, and for NO GOOD REASON, since there is nothing between the scrollbar and the edge of the screen to be clicked on.

Please, for the sake of all KDE users everywhere, find a way to squeeze that scrollbar all the way to the right edge so that all we have to do is zip the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen to use the scrollbar, without having to make any time-wasting corrective action.

Thank you very much.
