From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When moving my cursor over the top left or top right corner of a window my cursor does not change into a resize icon at all. To make matters worse moving the cursor up the window to the top of the window sometimes changes the cursor but the area of effect is WAY to touchy, I also noticed that moving the mouse down from the root window to the top line of a window does not change the cursor to resize. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Move cursor to top left corner of a window 2.Move cursor to top right corner of a window 3.Move cursor from root window to the top of a window 4.move cursor from within a window to the top line Actual Results: 1. Isn't resizeable. 2. Isn't resizeable 3. Isn't resizeable 4. Resizeable but area of effect is too low. Expected Results: To be able to resize easily from these positions. Additional info:
Which metacity version? recent ones expanded the top edge a bit. Our default theme doesn't really leave a corner for top left/right though (other than on the bottom of the titlebar). You can alt-middleclick also.
After updating to up2date current the top edge is much better. Why no top left/right?
because the buttons in Bluecurve go all the way into the corner.
The top edge is larger now, and I think the lack of corners on Bluecurve is deliberate.
