Hi. I have a recent installation of opensuse 15.1.
I Am running Gnome and I don’t remember never to have this issue anywhere.
Issue:
I can grip resize Firefox window only by (1) the top, (2) the top left corner and (3) left side.
It means if I place half window or any size window on the left I can not grip resize it. Unless if This window is touching another window on the right so I can manage the resizing on both windows at the same time.
It should grip by the four corners and four sides as any other window.
I disabled all the gnome extensions and it did not change the behavior.
I also installed Firefox via Flatpack. The New Firefox behaved exactly the same.
Perhaps it is something on Gnome.
Maybe on the upgrade of opensuse to 15.2 it will go away.
I researched on the web and didn’t find anything specific for this case.
This issue happens only on Firefox windows.
If anyone has any ideas it is appreciated.
My current firefox version is 68.7. But apparently it doesn’t mater.
Gnome 2.26.2
Possibly off-topic because, I use KDE Plasma as my desktop:
If Firefox is docked “left” then, the LH edge cannot be resized.
Ditto, if docked “bottom” – my program “Starter” / “Task Bar” is at the top of the screen …
The “corner” resizing works as expected.
KDE Terminal windows sort of display a similar behaviour – except for “bottom, right hand, corner” …
How many GNOME desktop workspaces do you have?
Do you have any effects enabled when moving a window to the edge of any given desktop workspace? – Can you drag a window to the edge of a desktop and, have the window move to another desktop workspace, because of that?
Hi
When you say ‘grip’ until you hover the pointer on the edge or corner your wishing to resize and it changes, then you can ‘grip’ and resize. If you have used the auto resize to fill half the desktop via dragging the window to left or right at that point you can only resize on the exposed edge until it has been un-maximized from that half.

I use dinamic workspaces on Gnome.
No effects wile moving.
Also disabled all Gnome extensions to check it.
Can not drag windows to the edge and appear on other workspace. Only on overview.
Thanks .

The mouse poiter turns into grip on ‘top’ and ‘left’ side and ‘top left’ corner. Useless places to appear. On the other areas the mouse does not turn into grip.
I think it is tricky because it is a graphical issue. I can not check it by command line for example.
The only clue i have is that on other graphical interface I have installed by default it works. It leads me to a possible gnome issue. I am going to update opensuse next month to the new release and see how it goes.
At first I could not log into GNOME on Xorg option on the login screen. It game me a grey screen that would not go away.
But now it logged on that option.
So it is indeed probably a wayland issue.
Actually for the little I know about wayland and X11 I believe X11 is better.
