Of the two, 1) is the less bad option. This seems obvious to me. It is wrong to treat the scroll bar as only visual element and not an input element; that's what I take issue with. > Like it or not designers usually don't spend time on the subset of the audience that clicks and drags the scrollbar. They spend time drawing a pretty looking scrollbar. If the designers in question, who are working on a user interface element, don't consider how users will interface with it, it's fair to criticise them for not doing their jobs.
