[i3] resize with mouse
I3 lets me resize windows with my mouse in case I should want to use my mouse. Is it intentional that there's no mouse cursor feedback when a click-drag will cause a resize? (The target seems to be three pixels wide.) Related, I notice that mouse-initiated horizontal resize works but vertical does not. User error, bug, intentional? Also, more out of curiosity than anything else, is it intentional that a click and release within that three pixel band always move the mouse to the center of the band? Yeah, this is a one pixel shift, so it doesn't matter to me, but having played with it, I'm now curious if there's a reason for the jump. Fwiw, i3 version 4.8 (2014-06-15, branch "4.8").

Re: [i3] resize with mouse
i3 4.8 is really old. We generally don't support old versions. I'd recommend updating to 4.10.x and see which of your questions are still valid.

Re: [i3] resize with mouse
> The target seems to be three pixels wide It's not clear if you're aware of the incredibly convenient "Mod + RightClick" to drag window resizing. Then you can quickly click just about anywhere on the screen and be grabbing an edge.

Re: [i3] resize with mouse
I was not aware of Mod + RightClick. That's cool. Thanks. And in that context the warp to boundary makes sense: it makes clear what I'm about to do. Mod + RightClick also works for both H and V resize. So this leaves two questions, since maybe they are bugs, maybe not: 1. Is it intentional, given that non-mod LeftClick can resize, that there is no feedback on hovering over a window edge? 2. And is it a bug that vertical resize doesn't work without Mod? I haven't seen fit to restart i3 today (work to do), although I grabbed sources to compile from git master. I'll check once I've compiled and restarted.

1. Thanks. 2. OK, I'll check once I've been able to compile and restart.

Re: [i3] resize with mouse
Michael, are we sure that using Xfixes wouldn't make this a whole lot easier? I'm not familiar with the resizing code, really, but I didn't quite understand in that issue (#706) why we need separate windows?

Re: [i3] resize with mouse
I haven’t done much with Xfixes, so I’m not sure, but it sounds like you have a concrete idea in mind. Feel free to reopen #706 and prove me wrong :).
