--- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Let's get one thing clear: this is no way a usability thing; the *positioning*
of the indicator being closer to the content or farther from the content is
purely aesthetic. It appears that you are objecting to the
closer-to-the-content positioning on the basis that:

"This is not consistent with any other UI I can think of."

"It does not feel natural."

"Users don't expect such bars pointing towards content."

And then you provide visual examples from Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu, showing
that the indicator (which is sometimes a line, and sometimes a dot) is farther
from the content.

If a difference from other platforms poses a usability problem, then it is
worth addressing. But is there actually a usability problem here? This seems
like a purely aesthetic thing to me. So other than simply being different from
what other platforms do, is there actually a *problem* here?
