--- Comment #19 from Ernest Bywater <ernest@bywater.net.au> ---
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #17)
Ernest: would it be enough, if the split button also had a split
highlighting, when you move your mouse over it? Meaning that it would only
highlight the dropdown part, if you are over its hit area and likewise for
the direct Save area.

Not really, because it will still require me to transfer my attention the icon.
In the past I could use the cursor to move up and save while most of my
attention was still on the page. I didn't need to look up, just catch the
movement in the corner of my eye, because I set the 'Save File' icon as the one
on the far right. If I missed nothing happened, and I'd move the cursor and
click again. It got so automatic I rarely missed. But now, I have to give it my
full attention to make sure I get it right. I don't want the split option at
all. Which is why I asked about making the old code and icon available as an
optional one, that way I can set it up to use whichever I want. I figured it
would be easy to just put the existing code back in.

The number of times I accidentally get the split function is now so often I'm
seriously considering removing the 'File Save' icon and use the Menu options to
save in future. The split button is annoying the hell out of me. I don't want
to go to the large icons to make it work and lose the work area.
