@noheger omg, WHAT?!?
Stuff like this is why I'm still on Sequoia.

@noheger Apple is a joke

@ArjanBos @noheger @siracusa Thanks! I knew I'd had this problem recently, but I couldn't remember where--it was using a friend's laptop that runs #MicroSlop 11.

@noheger Christ on a cracker. Not upgrading until this nonsense settles out

@RaphaelWimmer @noheger it's stock Ubuntu, so gnome.

@noheger I have no words to express my state of being after reading this. This is just simply very stupid.

@eliocamp @RaphaelWimmer @noheger As usual, #GNOME can be trusted to copy the stupidest ideas from everybody else.

@noheger > Living on this planet for quite a few decades, I have learned that it rarely works to grab things if you don’t actually touch them
can you elaborate more on this, I'd like to learn the things I can grab without touching

@menos @eliocamp @RaphaelWimmer @noheger I don't think it is copying, insofar as resizing a window from the inside with just the mouse has never been a thing in GNOME in the last three decades as far as I know?
If my eyes do not deceive me (y'all are moving the cursor way too fast), the issue you have here is that the cursor *appears* to be outside the window when initiating the drag but is actually right on the corner, just an illusion due to the rounded corner's transparent part, no?

@noheger they've had 40 years to get this wrong

@nekohayo @eliocamp @RaphaelWimmer @noheger Sure, if you know what the underlying implementation does it seems to make sense, but it's far from intuitive. That plate used as a real-world example in the OP's article looks round because it *is* round, so you grab it on its visible rim, not outside of it because some hidden reality causes it to actually be rectangular.

@nekohayo Nah, it's outside. Read the original article for a good explanation. The crux of the matter is that the clickable areanis still using the square geometry and the rounded corners are just visual flourish.

Great, users can't find a window corner because Apple design leadership could not find their ass with both hands.

Below is a video with GNOME's libadwaita, but slowly so we can actually see.
Again: GNOME didn't have draggable inner corners to begin with, even with square corners.Even at the smallest cursor size I can drag anywhere on the corner's edge, plus generous margins outside. While it'd be neat if you also had an inner margin, edge grabbing *does* work. Personally I've no problems resizing in practice.
P.s.: it's been rounded since 2018, macOS copied us 😏

@nekohayo I don't see the difference. The point is that you need to drag from outside the window. 🤔
