With continuous grab this works fine, but that is only implemented on
Mac/Linux at the moment. I think that those transform buttons could be
left out though because we have the transform manipulators enabled by
default.

> 3rd. issue: I didn't finished my "complaint" about those scroll bars. Scaling of them should be done with use of some modifier key (like CTRL) not just by clicking and dragging of that gray dot. Why? In the Timeline click on the right gray dot on the scroll bar and drag it to the left side until a whole bar turns in to a circle. Now try to drag that same dot to the right.

This is just a matter of ensuring the a minimum size of the scrollbar,
no need to hide it behind a modifier key I think.
