Believe me, considering this is not something I have done casually. I  
am designing the interface for a complex, back-office accounting  
application. One of the screens has a two-pane, independently- 
scrollable table where the user compares records. Each row contains a  
checkbox in the column closest to the "spine" (ie: the right column in  
the left-hand pane and the left column in the right-hand pane) so that  
the user can quickly browse, compare, and then select matches. The  
scrollbar of the left-hand pane is lands right between these two  
columns of checkboxes. As the two panes kind of act like a mirror  
image of each other, I am considering moving the left-hand pane's  
scrollbar to the left side to complete the mirroring and get it out of  
the way. Obviously, such a move comes with usability consequences and  
will require testing if we choose to pursue it.
