Dear Andrea:

This bug is NOT fixed in Unity, so "Fix Released" is a plain lie. I
kindly suggest you change the status ASAP.

The title and description of this bug define perfectly well what
happens not just in my system, but in many others. As a matter of
fact, I have read people complaining about the reverse of my own
situation: they can grab the resizing handlers easily at the top and
the left, but not at the right and bottom.

Resizing handlers are definitely broken in Unity. Do you prefer to
open a new bug with exactly the same title and description as this one
but referred only to Unity? Be my guest. But that's exactly the case.
The title and description perfectly match what's going on TODAY on
Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.

The bug suggested by John Lea is the one which should be closed,
deleted or marked as a duplicate, since it's just a particular case of
this bug (it refers ONLY to the top handler). In no way it defines
COMPLETELY what I and others are experiencing regarding windows
resizing in Unity.
