I don't think the window edges violate fitt's law. To use the scroll bar, you slam your courser to the edge of your screen and then move a known amount over, which are two things that don't involve fine grain hunting. I haven't noticed the menu divider issue. You already have to wait until your menu item is highlighted before clicking, so that is what you focus on. It is an odd choice though.

There's definitely a connection; see this article [1] by legendary Apple UI designer Bruce Tognazzini. You'll have to scroll down just below halfway (or ctrl-f) to the section titled "Fitts’s law". Looks like Tog hasn't quite understood the UI implications of adding the ID attribute to headings ;-) [1] http://asktog.com/atc/principles-of-interaction-design/ http://asktog.com/atc/principles-of-interaction-design/
