Another source of this impression is that the system browser keeps 
breaking on me.  The bottom pane keeps getting messed up.  The scroll 
bars often stick out below the bottom of the window.  I had the browser 
get confused about the switching between one and two bottom panes.  At 
times there were 3 areas below the row of buttons, with scroll bars 
that overlapped.  Then when I selected a method, the text was in a pane 
that was the top 1/3 of the bottom area.  After loading a package 
recently the top set of lists and buttons disappeared.  The row of 
buttons can easily be resized to smaller than the buttons themselves, 
cutting them off.  I suspect the 3.7 browser is less stable because of 
the added comment pane for class selections (which I like a lot), has 
this gotten better in more recent versions?
