Comment 3 for bug 1579142

The problem still persists in 16.04, which is, that the resize cross hairs do not show up when the mouse is howevered over the borders of the window. This is only the case for some applications, most applications, like gnome-terminal, are not affected. However, at least in the latest release I can resize the window in evince by right clicking in the menu bar and selecting "resize". There is also the keyboard shortcut alt-f8, but I guess only a contortionist can move the mouse with one hand and hit alt-f8 single handed with the other.
