No, I didn't resize it.  (I wrote up a detailed explanation, but the bug
was fixed by your below commit, so it's not relevant now I think.)

With that change, the above bug is gone.  And it looks much better!
I think we should change customize to use that, too.

However, especially on a graphical display, it would be nice if you
couldn't place point on the actual divider.  It looks almost as jarring
as the weird point movement to me.
