Yes this affects me too. I find really irritating that there is only 1 pixel at the bottom right corner on some apps to grab hold of. Some examples of Apps with "no grab Corner" that I use are:
1) Chromium
2) Mate Terminal
3) Filezilla
4) Hexchat
5) LibraOffice Apps.

My wish is for the developers to please:

1) include a facility in the "Appearance Preferences" > "Customise Theme" > "Window Boarder", to be able to set the window boarder size in the range, say between 1 to 10 pixels in width. I know some of the Window Themes have wider boarders but I like the default Ambient-Mate window theme.
or
2) Include the "Bottom Right grab thingy" in all windows
or
3) Include Window themes with two or more window boarder sizes.
or
4) Just modify the default Ambient-Mate window theme to have a 3 pixel window boarder!

This is a usability situation so quite important in my view. For the "User group" that just installs and uses Mate, having difficulty in grabbing the window sides of the majority of Apps could be a real "put off".

For now I'm using the Dopple-left window theme, it has a 3 pixel window boarder that I can grab with my mouse and mouse quite easily.

kind regards
