The borderline between the editor part and the black screen part of the IDE is somehow too thin.
When I try to get a grip of it with a toucscreen, it slips and then my cursor paints the source text
Do you mean the "Scroll Bar" width?
If so, go to the advanced settings, explained by @ptillisch in you "speech bubble post", select "Preferences: Open Settings (UI) then type "Scrollbar.Vertical Scrollbar Size" and select a number to suit your required width.
No, I do not mean the vertical scroll bar.
I mean the horisontal line, which you grap, when you want to change the size of the black screen, where the error messages are written.
Understand. I do not know whether that is under the control of the IDE or the operating system. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
You can adjust this in the Arduino IDE advanced settings. I'll provide instructions:
- Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
A menu will appear on the editor toolbar:
- Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
ⓘ You can scroll down through the list of commands to find it or type the name in the field.
A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel. - Type
workbench.sash.sizein the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab. - Increase the value in the field under the "Workbench › Sash: Size" setting according to your preference.
ⓘ Changes to the setting take effect immediately, so you can test various values in turn until you find the right one for you. - Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.
You might also be interested in the related workbench.sash.hoverDelay advanced setting.
FYI, the term used for this is "sash".
