You will see workarounds/solutions, and a reason for this.

Workarounds:
- Resize your windows with alt + F8
- Resize your windows with alt + middle click
- Disable Compiz

Reason:
Resizing by dragging window borders is limited to work area by Compiz to prevent window edges from becoming inaccessible while resizing by going behind panels or beyond screen edges. To handle this issue, Metacity instead uses snapping during resize, which Compiz 0.8.4 lacks.

Hope that helps.
