Good, we're getting somewhere...

First thing I noticed, was that I was able to resize windows using any side of the window, not just the bottom right as it is on Leopard.
It's not just Leopard; as far back as I can remember the Mac has had only one place to resize a window and that was/is a handle on the lower-right hand corner. It was changed in Lion to resize from any edge to be more like Windows® windows. :wink:

No other app I use (in 10.7) that has a resizable splitter has this problem, at least that I've noticed. For example Mail.app, Dictionary.app or couple of the FTP apps I use have this splitter too, w/o problems.
