SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any CSD window (in this case I tested using Firefox and Gnome Chess)
2. Maximize window to see problem clearly (it also happens on non-maximized windows, this step is just to make it easier to see the problem)
3. Hover over the close/maximize/minimize buttons
4. Now check any SSD windows, the hitbox for highlighting the buttons is different

OBSERVED RESULT

The button hitbox is smaller/different from any other Server Side Decoration windows. Like, in a normal maximized window, one can close the window by clicking on the top right pixel of the screen, however on CSD windows, in order to highlight the button, the user has to precisely target the button. I'm no UX expert, but I believe that breaks Fitts law.

I've attached a video showing the issue.
