Perhaps it's not related, but something that's been bugging me is with 
my window that contains an NSTextView in an NSScrollView as its 
bottommost element. It's set to show the scroll bar only when needed.

When the (vertical) scroll bar is showing, moving the pointer from the 
text area to the resize box causes it to change from the I-beam to the 
arrow. But when the scroll bar is not showing, the pointer doesn't 
change when it gets to the resize box.

It seems that I unconsciously rely on that change to know when to 
click in the resize box, and if it doesn't change until it's 
completely outside the window, I often end up clicking on whatever is 
in the background, instead of in the resize box.

It would be a small annoyance if it didn't happen so often. Is it 
worth filing a bug about this simple case? Or, is there an easy fix 
for it?

Obviously, I could change my scroll view to always display the scroll 
bar, but four years on, I'd rather not change the behavior of the app 
for something this minor--and it may be that none of my customers are 
bothered by it at all.
