SUMMARY Since the last update (see below for specifics), the area in which the user can click to initiate window resizing has significantly shrunk on the top area of said windows. In fact, you have to be almost perfectly pixel-aligned with the window border in order to resize windows from there. This is not just inconvenient to able-bodied users, but also a significant accessibility issue for disabled users. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any window 2. Move the cursor to the top left or top right corner to resize it OBSERVED RESULT You have to be very precise in moving the mouse cursor so that it aligns to the window border. EXPECTED RESULT The top area behaves like the bottom one, which still accepts input a few pixels away from the window.

Is this on X11, or Wayland, or both?
What decoration theme do you use?
I've tested this on X11. The decoration theme is Breeze.
Can you try on Wayland too?
So, I've tried with other decorations and it's the same with all of them. It also happens on Wayland on a different computer.
Thanks for testing!
I can reproduce this behavior on my Fedora KDE 42 device, with Breeze window decorations in a Wayland session. At first, I wondered if this was somehow intentional behavior, to try to avoid the top edge of one window interfering with access to an adjacent window's controls, or with a top-aligned panel? I don't recall seeing anything related to that going into effect in 6.3.5, though. Thanks!

I moved this bug report to Breeze because Kwin has nothing to do with it. Breeze disables the top resize border https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/blob/7f9ec509a3ef8a53ba265f32b39c8cc832fea787/kdecoration/breezedecoration.cpp#L482
Not sure if it's actually a bug though. I assume that breeze doesn't set that resize border because there's some space reserved by the decoration on top.

Every single window decoration I have tried does this: Oxygen, Arc, Plastik, Qogir, all exhibit the same behaviour.
