Brandon, I am working on something that should help to prevent issues like this in the future. We could all donate money and get a patch if needed, but then again only those lucky enough to know about launchpad will be the ones to find it. Upstream may not even take it. I am not sure how long it

Scaine: I can't see anyone taking up this torch when a new Gnome and theme engine are just round the corner. Perhaps.. Should we need to bring this bug to the attention of the Gnome developers ASAP? To my mind, the importance (low) of this bug speaks volumes regarding whether it will be fixed.

I do not think so. Sure, many would get the hint and eventually figure it out, but many would be put-off just trying to figure out how to resize, even if they were successful. By default in Ubuntu with Compiz on you can also control+middle-click to resize. But one thing about Linux and free

As Siegfried Gevatter first replied I don't think most users have a problem with that. I have to say that has been shown to now be an issue for many. This is a severe issue in that anyone hampered by it will be hit early on in their experience, and have such a high degree of getting turned off

@Marcus Carlson - I believe that resizing technique while helpful (what I end up doing when having trouble myself) is specific to Compiz. I guess those without good enough hardware would likely be running XFCE instead of Gnome though. @daniel - I agree, video tutorials could be helpful. Something

Maybe it contributes to some percieved issues, but the main issue for me is that I have high resolution monitor combined with a high DPI mouse, while trying to grab a 1 pixel wide border. My setup is for gaming (in Windows), but I like linux too. -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June

The ideal solution would indeed need to do this. I get this bug in Compiz, but I feel it can affect anybody. Maybe the cursor can stick/jump to the border after x seconds? Possibly with added special accessability benefit? -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 7:00:34 pm To:

Either 3 pixels farther out, or 5 across, whichever style lends to better habits. This should be tested in my opinion to minimize possible side effects. I would be happy to test if needed. -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 10:45:26 pm To: jason.alden.ben...@gmail.com From:

As someone fairly new to Linux, yet understand things far better than the average newbie, I want to add my 2 cents. On a scale of 1-4 1 - Emergency 2- High 3- Medium 4 Low I have to say this issue is a medium priority. It is a usability issue, and will turn people away. It's the little things
