I’m using MyEclipse 7.0, OS X, Eclipse 3.4.1,

Floating my mouse over a horizontal line between two window panes in the IDE does NOT cause the mouse cursor to change and indicate vertical resizing is available. Resizing still works, but you have to guess where to place the mouse cursor before resizing happens

As a work around I have learned to precisely align the arrow cursor and text cursor over a horizontal line before vertically resizing window panes. It is doable, but definitely a pane in the rear.

I believe this is not a bug. Its a request to increase the selection area. I’ll make a note of it. Thank you for your feedback.

I would like to clarify. The bug is not that there is a small selection area. The bug is that the mouse cursor *never* changes to indicate vertical resizing is ready to be selected.

I am personally ok with a small selection area, just as long as the mouse cursor indicates where it is.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.
