Description Denis-Carl Robidoux 2010-02-02 05:24:45 UTC 
How to reproduce this problem:

Open a normally resizable window, drag it up with an alt-left-click in the middle of the window until you hide the title bar over the display area.

And voilà, if you try to resize the window by using any of the available borders or corners you'll get annoyed until death.

I have also found that some applications that open tool windows, such as GIMP, can create them under the menu bar. For a Linux noobs it can be very frustrating trying to work around this, I know drove me up the wall. I did not know about the ctrl + left mouse to drag a window so had to hide the menu bar so I could move the window out from under it.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
