IE Se7en Part 2

Phil	i can't believe thy've taken away the word "back" on the back button
	it was the only good thing in IE
	i even wrote a firefox extension to duplicate it! :)
	i can't believe it insists on using http:// every time
	ah, it doesn't always
	weird
G	i am having all sorts of bother typing in addresses
	although I can't pin down what the problem is
	ff clearly does *something* nicer than IE
	I just don't know what :)
Phil	heh
	you know the toolbar to the right of the tabs?
G	yeah
Phil	can you get that to be on its own toolbar?
	i can't
G	No
Phil	great
G	Only the toolbars that you turn on and off in the toolbars option are actually toolbars
Phil	i can move it horizontally, but not vertically
	perfect
G	indeedly
	makes for some narrow tab action
Phil	exactly
	what a complete pain the arse
	and whenever you want to go to the first tab, you can't just go to the very left of the tab bar, but X pixels in
	these people have clearly never heard of postel's law ;)
	but then again, the first tab in firefox is indented by about 3 pixels, bu at least you expect that
G	i've just spotted the chevrons on the edge of that toolbar on the right
	Help is off the screen along with all the extra buttons that apps like XML Spy and Fiddler have added
Phil	yes, same here
G	help
	invisible!
Phil	genius!
G	and no help menu either!
Phil	excellent!
G	Also, all the buttons have the little down arrows on them
	but only half of them are smart push ones
	But instintively i aim for the tiny arrow when I don't need to
Phil	yes, it's hard to predict how they work until you hover over it
	or rather, hover, look, pause, think, click
G	The only indication of smartness is a faint vertical line that is only there when you hover
	utter bullshit
Phil	yes, it's shit
	i also can't believe they've taken away right-click customise toolbar
	that's like a decade of muscle memory for every MS app ever
	oh i see, you can right click on the tools to the right of the tabs to get to "customise", just nothing else
	so annoying that the tabs resize, and yet there's no generic "close tab" button on the right of all the tabs
	so if you want to close three tabs in one go, you have to keep moving the mouse
	not just click-click-click
G	not so fussed about that
	safari is like that so used to it :)
	and if there's just 1 x , i prefer it in the tab to on the side
Phil	yes
	but the tab shouldn't resize in that case
	it should always be in a predictable location
	because once you close one tab, the others all resize and the location you think you were going to, moves
