I haven't counted, but my personal preference has been the same for a long time, so I know that most provided me an option somehow to do what I wanted. After all, it's not breaking the standard I'm after. > you can drag the preview pane separator to the bottom of the screen. You > can't expect much better than that for mouse control.
