Description Mike 2019-06-01 21:31:47 UTC

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to resize a window without using a cryptic key-combination - use just the mouse 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Very hard - you need to fiddle around the window border to find the invisible,
one pixel line that lets you grab the border to resize the windows

EXPECTED RESULT
Set the tolerance for the "grab"-Area higher

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think you have a strong focus on usability. This problem should be really on top of your list. It should not be necessary to know the keyboard shortcut to resize a window
Thanks

This is not the case for KDE apps, which have a large visible or invisible (depending on your window border settings) resize area around the window. However it does happen for certain GTK windows due to technical limitations (Bug 390550).

What app are you seeing this with?
