[Bf-taskforce25] Current GUI glitches (probably already known, but just for the record ; )

[Brian Staub]

Hi.

I want to bring a few GUI issues to the attention of the Devs, who are doing an in-cred-ible job btw(!),
which they might be aware of... but just for the record.  
These issues are
apparent in the intel OS X builds from inazuma on graphicall.

1)  when dragging around sub-panels to rearrange them, the dragging distance for the panel and mouse cursor do not stay in sync.
in other words, the sub-panel drags at a rate
faster than the rate of the mouse, which often makes it hard to place a
sub-panel at the
right location because the sub-panel will reach the
edge of the screen before the cursor.

2)
recently committed was a nice fix for preserving blank space in panels
left over from collapsing sub-panels until the user scrolls to the top
of the panel.
it currently has issues which makes the panel auto scroll until there is no blank space.

3) when reducing the size of headers where the buttons are not entirely visible, icons disappear.

lastly, and a personal preference, i think the scroll bars would look nicer without a mouse-down state where the shadow changes direction.
i think it to be a little distracting.

thank you for any consideration, and congrats on the excellent progress so far  =)
