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. The feature may
render your concerns moot.

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.

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 :).

Not sure what you mean by that. I can resize windows in any direction just fine.
