Well if this is not an embarrassing moment then nothing is! I just
checked
again because it just wouldn't make sense to me that such a thing is not an
option and low and behold, I hadn't scrolled down! Geez. So eyah, scratch
that...
Yes the Mouse & Touchpad panel's UI/Ux is sufficiently weird that I'd
call it either a bug or design flaw. There's no good reason why the
System Settings panel should shrink by ~50% upon clicking on Mouse &
Touchpad which needs all of the original real estate. There's no plus
side of the current behavior.
