Bug: Vertical Scroll Bar in Context Menu

Dave Hooton

It can be difficult to activate the vertical scroll bar with the mouse pointer

The 'active' zone is just to the left of the bar (as shown) and extends to roughly that distance inside the bar. If the tip is in the middle of the bar, it does not become active, unlike other vertical scroll bars in the UI.

This has been fixed in 8.9 Beta 1.

Indeed it has! I can work much faster now.
