Wow. Well I changed the -UnityDecoration-extents value from '28px 0 0 0' to '28px 10px 10px 10px'. This is obviously too big.
On the other hand, it is _really_ nice to not have to hit that 10 micron thick region of the window that one needs to hit to get a resize handle. Even when I can navigate to the corner, in both 14.02 and 14.04, it has been difficult to get the mouse pointer to the incredibly miniscule region of the window that one needs to hit. I think it is not the right call to put this at a low priority for several reasons. First, it is easy to fix, so why not do it. I mean, do you need me to write a one-line pull-request against a repository somewhere? I would be glad to do it. Just let me know. Second, I know the effect is a bit subtle but this is the kind of thing that makes people workflow difficult without them even knowing it. All they know is that it takes a long time to resize the window and their hand hurts. And if they realize what the problem is, how easy is it to find the vocabulary to describe the problem so that you all get what is being described? And how many average users know where to file the bug? So, how do you all know how many people this is a problem for? I would suggest you may understate the number of people it bothers and the extent of the bother that it causes them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359350 Title: window resize handle is now too far below window, windows become unresizable Status in Themes for Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Unity: Triaged Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I move my cursor to the bottom right corner of any window, the cursor changes to the "resizing handle" and I can resize the window. But, between 14.02 LTS and 14.04 LTS, then indicator appears farther down. Now, the indicator changes a few pixels below the outside edge of the window. What this means is that when I window's bottom edge is flush with the bottom of my screen, I am COMPLETELY UNABLE to resize the window. It is a bit annoying. :-) The distance from the bottom corner to show the resize indicator used to be rather small. It can be frustratingly hard to hit. But now, with these windows, it is completely impossible. This behavior has noticeably changed between 14.02 LTS and 14.04 LTS.
