VERY difficult to resize windows, eg configuration vs results

I have a dual monitor setup. My canvas lives on the left monitor, and I combine tool config and results on the right monitor. I've noticed that it's incredibly difficult to resize the config vs results window size. This is because you have to hover over EXACTLY the right part of the divider until the resize icon appears, as below:

The difficulty arises because the target zone, over which the cursor changes from an arrow to the resize tool, is only 1 pixel wide. If you have a high resolution screen, or a slightly fiddly mouse, it's almost impossible to successfully hover over the correct place. Please consider increasing the width of the hover zone to facilitate window resizing. I hope I've explained this adequately, please let me know if I need to amend. Thanks!

We increased the size of the "handle" or target zone to resize in recent releases. Are you still having trouble in more recent versions?

@fharper Can you tell me a little more about what you are experiencing and which version you are on?

It is good news that the suggestion was "Accepted". The splitter bar width is too narrow. It is difficult to resize panes in the UI. I understand the tradeoff between consumption of screen real estate and usability, but the splitter bars are simply too narrow.
