Bug Description

Scrollbars in the dash are catchable only by pointing precisely on the scrollbar . that's quite difficult and moreover in the home dash for example , clicking outside the scrollbar at the right ( in the lighter border of dash ) close the dash .

I fully and totally agree. Also due to bug 839472 it becomes crazy difficult to scroll in the Dash. Incomplete as it still needs feedback from design
