Description Josh Stone 2009-03-20 20:49:49 UTC

Description of problem:
When the title bar of a window is hidden off the top of the screen, then it's hard to resize the window, because all clicks on the border act like right-clicks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
metacity-2.24.0-2.fc10.x86_64
(BTW, I'm only guessing that this is a metacity problem, because it's not unique to any particular application AFAICS)

How reproducible:
very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ALT-click-drag any window and move it up until the title bar is hidden.
2. Left-click on the left/right/bottom window border.
  
Actual results:
The right-click context menu appears upon the left-click.  A real right-click still brings up the context menu as well.

Expected results:
The border should start resizing when dragging.

Additional info:
Selecting resize from the context menu still works, so it is still possible to resize the window, just more cumbersome.

I've run into this on my netbook with a low resolution, where I sometimes have to ALT-drag windows around to see all their content.

I basically agree with you, but you'll need to convince the metacity maintainer upstream about this; this is not something we'd change in Fedora.
