Width of top border should be wider to make it easy to resize window #4782
Comments
@bsclifton would you please take this? |
@luixxiul can you show me an example of this? Not 100% clear what you mean. Is it hard to get the cursor to show as the resize cursor? |
@bsclifton yes it is, while the other borders are easy to grab, the top border is hard to do so. Here is an example: Do the gifs make it clear? |
This one is definitely not an easy one. The reason being is that it has to do with drag area. Changing this behavior will more often than not cause a regression. I'm going to un-assign a milestone; let's work with @bradleyrichter or @bbondy if we want to reassign it into a milestone |
if you add one pixel, it will be a 2x improvement. ; ) |

I've been using Brave less and less because of this, as the irritation factor accumulates. It wouldn't be so bad if browser resizing would stick. [Edit: I just only noticed that resizing does now stick - I guess it's been a while since I used Brave. So now I can resize via the bottom and the top problem can be mostly avoided.] |
@privatzee sorry to hear The challenge there is that Windows requires a hit-test in order for the behavior to change. The cursor moving causes a hit test to be done. This checks the area the mouse is over:
The problem here is that the draggable property is taking precedence over the resize. In order to fix this, we'd need to dedicated 5 or so pixels around the edges to be non-draggable. Since there are already complaints about the drag area being minimal, this is a very hard compromise. cc: @bradleyrichter for a recommendation. It would be useful to see a mock up of the top area and what is acceptable for drag / no drag. |
@bsclifton Thanks for the considerate reply. How about making the top resize area bigger when the Menu Bar is being displayed (which is always true for me)? There should be plenty of room available in that case. |

It is possible to solve the issue by adding Though there should be better solutions, it would work for a while. @bsclifton what do you think? |
+1. Love brave but it's crazy hard to manage the window size, especially from the top or corners. Have a friend with old hands who had to switch back to Chrome because it was stressing them out trying to size the window. |
Adding padding would only help in the window button area and not the entire top bar?
I think this is at least an improvement.

I could make it work on the entire top bar. |
I think the problem there is that Win7 windows have that rounded part and Brave doesn't add the resizing thing around that... not a problem in Win10 of course. |

Sign up for this thread: problem has not been solved in 2018 :( |
@hkps4jj We're working on some things that will resolve this issue. You can expect to see it resolve in the not too distant future. |
Describe the issue you encountered: the width of the top edge of the window is so narrow (1 or 2px?) that it is hard to grab it and resize the window.
Expected behavior: The width should be wider.
