Or at least one, so that you get a different cursor when hovering over that area, and recognize that resizing is possible. OTOH, I can understand why the size is 0 when scroll bars are used: It can happen that you click on the scroll bar by mistake. In my installation it is especially problematic that the mouse cursor change is not correct for me: I get the "dragging" cursor in a stripe wider than the window divider. That makes it very likely to click the scroll bar by mistake. Michael.
