Sorry for the noise, but as others have pointed out (over the years!), one workaround is using ALT+middle mouse button to resize from anywhere within a window. Just want to add that there's a key in gconf that let's you change that to using ALT+right mouse button instead:
/apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button I find this much more comfortable, plus it works on 2 button touchpads as well. By the way, this workaround isn't exclusive to compiz as some others have suggested. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 Title: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult [please no more comments; patches welcome] -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
