Description Federico Mena Quintero 2012-09-27 18:16:16 UTC
I dragged a window to the leftmost edge of the monitor to half-maximize it.  Then I went to do something else.  When I came back to that window, I wanted to make it wider.  It was not obvious why the resize cursor wasn't appearing when I moved the mouse to the rightmost edge of the window - only later did I remember that I had half-maximized it.

Maybe half-maximized windows should still allow you to resize them from the "free" edge?

[Additionally: in the title bar's context menu on the half-maximized window, "Maximize" is enabled (and it really maximizes the window), but "Resize" is disabled.]
