SUMMARY [This is my best guess at product/component.] This issue is minor; but aggravating. Three of four window resize grab handles are off-screen when a window is against a screen edge. Only the top grab handle is available. When a new window opens with one or more edges against a screen edge, the resize handle is not available because the handle's grab area is just off screen. This is true for left, bottom and right; top handle can be grabbed when window edge is at screen top. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open any window 2. if it is against left, bottom or right screen edges, the window cannot be resized from that edge. (Bottom issue is obvious on non-primary screen; on main screen, bottom edge against taskbar often results in tooltips popping up) 3. OBSERVED RESULT [Below was originally written using fixed-width font.] The "grab" area is just outside the window geometry. Maximized was referenced only to say that is not part of the issue: - move the window if not maximized - if maximized, restore and likely still have to move the window So, when the window edge aligns with the screen edge, the hot zone is outside the screen area and not available. Maybe this was not clear enough, or I should have avoided mentioning anything about maximized... Let me try a graphic representation: Using left screen edge as representative for left, bottom & right... Window not quite at edge: || <o> Cursor changes to 'grab'|| || Window at edge: | |\ Cursor can't reach grab's "hot" area | Greatly expanded: | grab |<== window edge screen edge==>| area | window almost at edge | ~10px | | <o> | <== cursor changes from \ to <o> | <=|=== grab area within which cursor changes | | screen edge==>|<== window edge | grab | | area | window AT edge | ~10px | | <=|=== grab area within which cursor can't go Also, when trying to hit the grab area, user has to consciously move cursor *outside* the window boundaries which is non-intuitive. The "hot" zone should straddle/be centered over the window edge: screen edge==>|<== window edge | gr|ab | | ar|ea | window AT edge |~10|px | | | | Now, the hot zone is available and intuitive. HTH The only workarounds are: - move the window if not maximized - if maximized, restore and likely still have to move the window EXPECTED RESULT Rather than being being just outside, the grab handles should be just inside the window edges.

Confirmed in X11 and Wayland using Breeze theme.
This is an issue in the Breeze Window decoration theme. It may actually be intentional though. At least for the right edge, this is so that scrollbars follow Fitts' Law. Not sure it's possible to have both, as they conceptually conflict.
Just a single pixel wide on the scrollbar edge so that the window edge could be grabbed would be a HUGE improvement IMO. The other edges shouldn't be an issue; should they?
