1) So this is not problem and/or can be considered as won't fix. When using Metacity without compositing manager there is no way to add extra "space" for resize cursor area. Your only option is to search for theme that has bigger borders. I am quite surprised that you wrote that Marco works well... Marco has this 1px resize problem with / or without compositing manager.
2) You can try to modify theme - changing borders from 1px to bigger size or just use theme that has bigger borders. 3) This was not about resize problem. This question was about missing / not visible windows. Did you try Intel only mode? Did you see this problem on other laptops you just mentioned? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1538111 Title: untraceable serious bug in metacity 3.18 Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS uses 3.18 version of gnome metacity. When doing lots of mess work in Desktop (such as open desktop window, sudo window, dragging window, and so on), "!! WHEN CLICKING CLOSE BUTTON OF A CERTAIN WINDOW !!", there is "small possibility" for metacity to get out of work --> Many windows are disappeared, with only nautilus desktop background and gnome-panel on screen. "Live Window List" still exists in gnome-panel, but no matter doing what (such as open new application from gnome-menu or use Alt+Tab to switch window), none of live windows can be displayed. So the only way is to switch to tty1 using Ctrl+Alt+F1, and executing "DISPLAY=:0 metacity -c --replace", then all windows came back. Till now, I meet this bug every day, but still not sure how to reproduce it bug. I think you should trace what the metacity do when clicking "close button" that makes all windows to be disappeared. Thanks.
