This bug is excruciating. This is the only thing that is seriously
making me consider switching back to mac or windows.
I don't like having to reach for alt, and middle click to perform an
exceptionally basic function of a point and click OS. It's not that
there aren't alternatives, keyboard short cuts etc. It's that the way I
want to resize a window doesn't work.
Perhaps if the mouse just detected "you're within 10 pixels of a window
corner, would you like to resize", and showed the resize icon at that
point. It could resize the window regardless of if you clicked on it/in
it. You don't need to change the visual of the windows, it allows
flexibility for different themes. Surely it could just be done in the
window manager?
How often do you ever find yourself clicking near the corner of a window
when you aren't intending to resize? How often do you find yourself
mousing around a corner trying to find that sweet spot where you can
resize?
We just need a big fat target (and a dynamically changing cursor would
solve that). What happens when our "cursor" is our big fat finger on
our new shiny ubuntu tablet? Tablet hardware is set to take off this
year, and it's all going to be touch only. This issue will be worse on
a touch screen.
Please... whoever has the skills. Help us obiwan kenobi... you're our
only hope
