This is not a bug. Applications can tell fvwm a step width for resizing. Most of the time, this is the font width/height. Now assume the font is 8 pixels wide and 12 pixels high. If you make the window 10 pixels shorter, fvwm rounds down and shrinks the window by 12 pixels. But if you add 10 pixels, fvwm again rounds down to 0 pixels. This is why the window does not grow. You can use w+1c and w-1c instead. The 'c' stands for the step width the 'c'lient application requested. But that does not work very well for applications that do not define a step width.
