Type: Bug

In a regular code window having a vertical scrollbar, if you use Fitz' law and fling your mouse to the right edge of the screen, you can drag the scrollbar without having to precisely target it.

Not so in a Mardown preview window. Here, you have to backtrack a few pixels to use the scrollbar (which is skinnier than on regular windows for some reason), requiring finnicky precision and detracting quite a bit from ease-of-use.

Steps:

  1. Open a code window and a Markdown preview window.
  2. Compare scrollbar behavior.
  3. I'd expect the Markdown preview window to behave like the code window.
