Description Dean Sas 2006-09-13 16:54:14 UTC
This bug has been reported here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/58759
"""
I find resizing a window in gnome, especially from the upper right corner, to be difficult.

The reason is that I try to do it - you guessed it - at the corner.
But in reality, you can practically only resize BELOW the corner. This has annoyed and confused me a lot, until I decided to research WHERE exactly you can resize and where you can't.

See the image explanation (http://librarian.launchpad.net/4127262/windowsizing.png); in the green zone, you can currently resize. In the red zone, I expect to be able to resize, but I can't.

I've tested this a bit more and it seems to be fine using the clearlooks theme but the bug is there on others such as Silicon and Ubuntu's Human theme. So I assume this is a theme bug..
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2006-09-13 18:40:23 UTC
This is a deliberate decision in some themes because using those buttons is *way* *way* more common than resizing up there.
