While I am all for them, they obscure what is under them and that can be critical when you need pixel placement. Please put that kind of information in a status line if practical. Never have tooltips come up when you mouse click - only hover.

The current code requires the resize handles to be present and to be dragged.... Since the initial click isn't on a resize handle this is hard to emulate. Anyway it might not be a good idea to do this, since the handles are not visible at the time of the click. > - it should be possible to lock frame mode - moving frame not only by=20 > it's borders will be helpful when doing DTP. Is this really necessary ? The mouse is already on a border....
