[Ray Kiddy <1359350@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will have to see if the previous comment is a work-around. This is
becoming increasingly obnoxious. Several of my applications now create
new windows that are big enough that they are against the bottom of the
screen and are therefore non-resizeable.

The only way to get most apps to give you a smaller window is to resize
the window it gives you. Then the next window will be that size. But if
you cannot resize the first window, you cannot affect the size of the
next window the app gives you.

Sometimes I can lower the resolution of the screen, get a new window,
and increase the resolution. The window then may stick at its created
size, which means I can now grab the bottom of the window. But some apps
are so helpful that they re-size an already created window to take up
the same screen real estate no matter what the resolution. So amazingly
helpful.

Title:
  window resize handle is now too far below window, windows become
  unresizable

Bug description:
  When I move my cursor to the bottom right corner of any window, the
  cursor changes to the "resizing handle" and I can resize the window.

  But, between 14.02 LTS and 14.04 LTS, then indicator appears farther
  down. Now, the indicator changes a few pixels below the outside edge
  of the window.

  What this means is that when I window's bottom edge is flush with the
  bottom of my screen, I am COMPLETELY UNABLE to resize the window. It
  is a bit annoying. :-)

  The distance from the bottom corner to show the resize indicator used
  to be rather small. It can be frustratingly hard to hit. But now, with
  these windows, it is completely impossible.

  This behavior has noticeably changed between 14.02 LTS and 14.04 LTS.
