Description Sefa Eyeoglu 2019-05-27 10:08:56 UTC
SUMMARY
KWin allows resizing windows at the screenedges on multi-monitor setups. This behaviour is not affected by the setting "Allow resizing maximized windows from window edges" for Breeze Window Decoration.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any resizable window
2. Maximize it on screen X
3. Try to drag the window at the edge, where screen X and screen Y meet, but while staying on screen Y.

OBSERVED RESULT
Window can be resized although it is maximized.

EXPECTED RESULT
The window border should be disabled for interactions

Please post your kwinrc and if you use breeze decoration, breezerc as well.

Can you post xprop of the maximized client and also output of `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation`?

Nothing looks suspicious in the xprop output; the culprit seems to be

> borderSize: 0
Comment 8 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-05-27 17:18:43 UTC
For the record: it seems like this is a Breeze/Oxygen decoration theme issue.
Comment 9 Sefa Eyeoglu 2019-05-27 17:44:16 UTC
I can confirm, that if I set the Window border size to Normal the issue is gone. The same issue happens with window decoration themes other than Breeze and Oxygen, like Plastik.
Comment 10 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-05-27 18:59:59 UTC
Can confirm with the Plastik decoration theme, but not with other Aurorae decoration themes.
Comment 11 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-05-27 19:01:56 UTC
Tracking this bugs becomes a bit messy. Can you please file corresponding bug against Plastik? (product: kwin, component: Aurorae)
Comment 12 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2019-06-03 08:59:01 UTC
for oxygen and breeze at least, this is probably due to the "extended window borders", the ability to resize windows from "outside" the window. It is enabled only when there is no border drawn. 
It is not disabled for maximized windows it seems. 
When you have only one monitor, this is not an issue because outside of the window for a maximized window means outside of the screen. This is not the case in multimonitor setup. 
I think it can be disabled inside the window decoration code itself. But should it not better be disabled upstream ? (in kdecoration or kwin) ?

It can be disabled in kdecoration, but I'm personally more in favor leaving this decision to the decoration theme.

Heh, it's more simpler than the one I proposed. Perhaps we need to unset resize-only borders for shaded clients too, so there is no dead zone around each shaded client.

Interesting: right now, in breeze, if I set the window borders to no-sides or no-borders, in fact the extended sides do not apply to the decoration title (whether the window is shaded or not), and shaded windows cannot be resized at all. 
Not from the top or bottom, by construction, but also not on the sides, because there is no extended sides. 
So: I don't see a dead zone around shaded clients, but there is no way to resize them either. This is true whether or not you allow resizing maximized windows. Do you confirm ? Should this be considered a bug ?
Comment 16 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-06-03 10:19:43 UTC
Not exactly, you cannot resize shaded windows because kwin doesn't allow that. Perhaps kwin could reset the decoration input window for shaded clients without relying on the decoration theme to update resize-only borders accordingly...

In either case, your patch is good to go. :-)

Right ! confirmed. (I thought it was possible with non zero side borders, but indeed it is not, even in that case)

ok. I'll push for both oxygen and breeze. Sorry if I missed some existing review requests on this: I don't automatically get the notificatiosn of those anymore after having stepped down from maintainership (and because of being annoyed by some people commenting excessively on those in the past).

Comment 21 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-06-03 11:48:47 UTC
I think it can be marked as fixed, at least Breeze/Oxygen part. Aurorae part has to be fixed in KWin itself.
