Struggling to resize windows on macOS Tahoe?

@noheger @siracusa @ianRobinson You can downgrade M4, but you'd have to erase everything, and you're on your own for preserving your data. A full backup made on 26 wouldn't be compatible with 15.

@nicolas17 Ta. I have multiple data backups. And always make a fresh copy of my Documents folder before wiping.

I’m seeing how 26.2 behaves before deciding.

@noheger form follows dysfunction?

@noheger had they added a visionOS-like handle as the mouse moved towards the corner, the larger radius would have still been just as ugly to my eyes, but at least this whole thing may make more sense? 😓 (I wish this is not the "correction" course they pick)

@noheger Always remember: “It just works!” 🤦🏼‍♂️

@noheger what was the allowed area before Tahoe?

If the window had a border that should be the area one can grab, windows rarely have borders these days so I’d would have guessed some allowance in both directions, allowing you to grab just inside or just outside the window.

Well, I’ve checked Windows and two desktop environments on Linux (Gnome and Cinnamon), for all three the resize area is all outside the window with the possible exception of non native apps (electron, Discord for example) which may allow clicking only inside.

@noheger I gave a whole talk on this sort of thing! But it’s about when it’s done right, and one of the examples was actually macOS window resizing. Oh well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK8aL_yZGw

@Cykelero Excellent talk! You made a very good point about how clever it is that you can move a window even if you start your mouse drag in the resize area. And in fact, this not only works at the top edge but at all four edges of the window.

However, on macOS Tahoe this resize area now extends into the curvature of the rounded corner. You can see in this screenshot that the cursor still indicates a horizontal resize, even though it’s already inside the corner area, where you might expect to be able to resize diagonally. But if you try to do that, you will actually move the window.
