Re: PGAdmin 4 V5 scroll-bars

Darren,

I think I understand what you are trying to get at with your post, but I am
afraid it comes across as a bit insensitive. Trackpad/touch control
surfaces are very difficult for me, and I would imagine like situated
people, to utilize. Suggesting that they try a "...*more modern (but still
almost *[sic] *decade old)*..." interface is like suggesting a blind person
stop using a braille interface for a color monitor. How did you put it?

You might want to try and understand that not everyone is as abled as
yourself.

Thanks,

rik.
