For instance, I'm looking at a buffer that shows all the text except for the last two lines; the thumb's height covers less than half the space occupied by the scroll bar and it is on the highest position. If I move the point to the end of the buffer, the thumb moves a bit down but still it's lower end is mid way to the bottom of the scrollbar. In MS Windows, the thumb size and position on a scrollbar gives a much more accurate idea of the text length and the point's position within the buffer. -- Oscar
