Jim,

When you resize the toolbar, there is a dark grey line that shows where
the edge will be.  You can see this easily if you expand yours using
mousekeys, then move it back down until the bar moves to the bottom row.

As to the new applications appearing in the bottom half, that is normal.

be very exact; the target is only three pixels wide. (The only way I
can do this with any kind of precision is to turn on MouseKeys, and
move the mouse pointer up and down.)
