Nah; notice how the extent of the grip morph is (unsurprisingly) the whole square shown, overlapping considerably with the bottom part of the scrollbar. The top-left one almost completely overlaps the close button by the way but morph precedence combined with whatever makes it not a problem. What we want is for the effective region to be an L shape not a square. Or perhaps for it to be behind the scrollbar?

If we shrunk it to the border width/height it would be only couple of pixels in size and we’d probably never be able to hit it. Especially on a high resolution display.
