This is not a bug as such, but an important usability issue. Many users
not acquainted with Ubuntu's application names have the situation quite
often, that they would like to look through the list of all installed
apps in order to find something. You open Dash, switch to the
appropriate tab, see the list of apps - however, the 3px wide scrollbar
found here is very very awkward to use. Many people do not have a mouse
wheel, so I would suggest offering a better solution here.
- either by implementing the standard scrolling in Ubuntu 12.04 with the small
"handle" popping up
- or by making the scrollbar wider
- and last but not least: I'd personally make a very small area left and
right of the scrollbar click-insensitive. It happens very often with me
that I try to catch the scrollbar but I click a pixel too far and the
whole Dash disappears.
