Hi Jim
I wonder if there is an option, for the applet and the full application, to see the cursor allowing to resize annotation panel vs. sequence panel.
Currently, the cursor appears only when (by luck) the mouse pointer is over.
Regards

Hello Sébastien.
I wonder if there is an option, for the applet and the full application,
to see the cursor allowing to resize annotation panel vs. sequence panel.Currently, the cursor appears only when (by luck) the mouse pointer is over.
Unfortunately, there is no option to cause the resize display to be shown all the time (and in fact, with the current logic, if it were displayed all the time, any mouse click in the annotation panel would be interpreted as a resize event!). I do understand the problem, however, and have lodged a bug here:
http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-984
As I mention in the bug, I think it might be worth switching to a more conventional 'draggable divider' model, where the mouse pointer changes to indicate when the user might click and drag to adjust the annotation panel divide up or down. However, I have to say that whilst I feel your pain, this kind of UI tweak isn't a huge priority, so I can't promise when it might get fixed. However, I'd be very willing to receive a patch from anyone who'd care to look at it ! (hint: the relevant code is in the mouseMoved method of the jalview.{applet}gui.AnnotationLabel class).
Jim.

Thanks Jim
It is not urgent but could definitely improve usability.
We will wait and maybe take a look into the code if we have some time.
