But even more important is a) that there is a minimum size for that dragging bit, and b) that the contents move as you drag But maybe we should put away with "dragging" all along and go with the method UPS implements: Click somewhere. then move the mouse away a bit. The thing will scroll that way, the faster the further you moved. No need to move the mouse anymore until you are where you want to go. It takes some getting used to (a lot, actually), but it is kind of nifty. I can't decide which one I prefer (conveniently, UPS allows the other method as well, with another mouse button. It just ignores point a from the above list).
