So freaking annoying, that problem. And from the other thread it seems it’s been going on for years.
Hold ALT down, then right-click any of the NE/SE/SW/NW quadrants of the window, then drag your mouse.
That’s a workaround, not really a solution. It requires two inconvenient actions to be performed at the same time.
Compiz (search for resize
) has some minor settings which don’t really help.
Hopefully there’s going to be an improvement soon…
The other suggestion to edit something in the theme, doesn’t work for me (can’t find the file mentioned by the first linked post).
This problem bothers me at least 20-30 times every day.
