For Evince we didn't want to bump around the sidebar by inserting the find toolbar. Right not we just shrink it a little bit and shrink the document as well. If it was at the top it would actually move the sidebar down when the find appears. Also, there wasn't a compelling reason to put it at the top. ~ Bryan _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
