Bug Description

With the upgrades yesterday of compiz source it's now extremely hard to resize most windows from an edge or bottom right corner
Reverting all & the resize returns to expected ease.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just considerably more difficult, particularly with bottom right corner
Using a touchpad on a laptop it can take multiple attempts to get just the right spot where previously there was a larger area

Confirm that issue that was already existing but now its even harder. Really need to detect a border with some delta pixels around the real x.y coordinates (think about people with some phisical/view issues)

Same problem here. Resizing windows is not extremely finnicky, the grab area is reduced significantly.
