This is one thing that I've always been curious abou. When you are browsing a page and are *not* in full screen mode, the vertical scroll bar is always positioned quite a ways to the left of the screen edge. (Almost looks like it's positioned the full size of the scroll bar away) I haven't found a bugzilla report, or even mention on the forums, but it seems like that's wasting valuable space.Happens with both Opera and MicroB.
Is this just some limitation of Hildon in windowed mode?

I find it easier to access the scroll bar with my thumb in windowed mode. I can quickly page down or move to the bottom of a page that way. Is it possible to move the scroll bar away from the edge in full screen mode?

I'm pretty sure the whole point it's away from the edge is to make the scrollbar easier to use. Otherwise, it would just end up needing to be thicker, so it's not like we would have gained any screen real estate anyways.

Seemingly, it's the latter and long term scroll bars will be history (just grab the page to scroll).
