Bug Description

When you hover over the bottom left and bottom right edge of a window, the resize cursor only appears for a few teeny tiny pixels. It makes it very difficult to resize windows from those edges as the trigger-zone for the resize cursor and click-drag option is too small to be used casually.

Window borders don't need to be thicker, so much as this range just has to have a minimum width so that when I go to resize my windows from the bottom left or bottom right, I'm not sitting there playing darts with my mouse cursor looking to bullseye a 2px range!

I disagree. I have heard numerous complaints from other users of Ubuntu on the range that displays the resize cursor. It needs to be larger so that people don't have to bullseye the ~3 pixel range it triggers on.
